afaik Portugal is on par with the EU average on income tax and slightly above corporate tax. Of course because of the low average wage it the high bands of taxing start much earlier than the rest of the countries. But lowering taxes does not increase wages, companies will always adapt to pay the least possible and if the wages are lower they will just pay less.

And in all the countries the middle class pays for the rich and poor... unfortunately.
