npub19lt4284mghqxekzm6n5njxurnxrxhqhrva2leusdsuu5ja5jeycq66qfjk (npub19lt…qfjk) We agree that the rich should pay more. Right now they have the ability to hide money & avoid taxes that the rest of us don't have.

We also have taxes on buying things (a "sales tax" here in the US) that affects the poor much more than the rich. Also a capped Social Security Tax, that affects the working poor and middle class in greater proportion than the rich. These taxes are anti-progressive.

I don't think it's "blame" to ask the rich to pay their fair share of the needs of society.
