In Portugal, the pay is 80% but tax free so in high salaries you end up with a massive profit (taxes can reach 50% easily)

That sounds like a shit system

[umeshunni]

Why? People who pay more into the system should benefit more from it.

[bearmode]

Because things like that perpetuate poverty. Public money should be going to those who need it, not those who already have a tremendous amount. It's very simple.

And it should be distributed equally. Just because you haven't been forced to live frugally when others have means you deserve more money than those that were forced.
