Excellent post. The tax posts always baffle me. The argument is essentially that we have to be happy with the crumbs from the table of these obscenely rich people who've thrived and made money in a society where they've had opportunities, education, healthcare, public services and infrastructure provided by the taxes of those who have gone before them, not to mention their workforce. Instead of wanting to make it fairer and bring people out of poverty, help working families and stop people needing food banks, we're just supposed to tolerate their greed. Then those supporting these politics have the nerve to suggest that socialism doesn't work... As if we live in a utopia created by capitalism.
