in brazil we are paying 100% in some cases. not income, of course, but some goods are twice as expensive for us to obtain as they should because of crazy taxation.
meanwhile our rich pay among the lowest taxes in the world (they pay zero tax in some investments). shit even when tax is due, some of our richest won’t pay it and get away with it. (thanks, neymar!)
2-6% is a joke when the rest of the population is paying >25% up to 50% or more in some places.
If you would have read the article, you would have noticed it’s a wealth tax, not an income or gains tax.
