That's what higher taxes do. And that's pretty evident, taxes in EU are generally higher and it's harder to loophole out of paying them.
Higher taxes cause people to tend to give back to their communities instead of hoarding wealth?
I thought higher taxes forced them to give money to the government, who may or may not do that.
Taxes is how people give back to their communities, their wants have nothing to do with that. That's kind of the only way, rich people will never voluntarily give money away otherwise, that's why they're rich in the first place.
In a democracy, the government is "the people".
No shit. Why are you here telling me that?
Are you just here agreeing with me in a way that makes it feel like you are arguing?
