Comment on Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?

The rich don’t have to pay taxes. The taxes they pay are largely voluntary.

That is the way of the world. It’s a truism. That’s what happens. You cannot change it.

Bonus extra: the trickle-down theory almost entirely doesn’t exist either. BUT the second generation - the grandchildren - after the original rich person will usually piss almost all of the fortune away.

Second bonus extra: the same thing happened with serious socialism; the leaders become dictators.

Anarchy for the win. 😁
