Alesma Sure they can be. I have no issues with this. But this, I think, should not change the fact that the rich could pay more from their income, at least those not involved in charitable activities.

Alesma Providing a direct help for the poor is important, yet a bit different topic, as this topic is about the rich and their money which could help the society as such.

Alesma I am of the same opinion. When it comes to paying taxes, there should be a proportion.

Alesma The fact is that not everyone has the same opportunities. People come from various backgrounds and most importantly people are different. Not everyone is in position to work many hours a week not because of their laziness, lack of drive or ambition, but mainly...

Alesma Thank you for your post. I also think that the tax system should be revised. Let the common sense win.

Alesma Everyone should be responsible irrespective of their social status. People should do their best to keep themselves and their families. They shouldn't rely on help from anyone. Nonetheless, there are always the rich and the poor living within one country. But...

Alesma In my opinion, if you are rich, you do not realize how difficult life can be with average or below-average incomes. Therefore you cannot rely on their sympathy with people from lower strata. Sure not all rich people have the same attitude or outlook on life....

Alesma I feel it the same. Let's not allow the gaping gap between the rich and the poor to grow bigger than it is at the present.

Alesma The more you have, the more you can contribute and vice versa. Does it make sense? I think so. I do think it is fair to the intent that the rich can do without a bit more money without any problems.

Alesma Yes, the rich should help the society. In the long run, they should benefit from it too.

Alesma Yes, but on the other hand people are born into poor families and it is not their fault either. They do not have the same opportunities as other people. And even though they work hard, they will stay poor. If we want the society to be balanced without...

Alesma Everybody pays taxes. The question is whether the rich should pay more from their income tax. And I think they should. Sure it is not their duty to help the poor, but they should not mind, as their higher tax levy help the state itself. It is not about duty,...

Alesma It is impossible to make all inhabitants equal when it comes to their wealth. There will always be the poor and the rich, but there should not be a huge gap between them.

Alesma Your definitely right that governments tend to waste money on various things without you having a chance to influence it. But show me a country with a perfect government.

Alesma Thank for your comment. Without belonging to any particular country, do you agree with a higher income tax for the rich?

Alesma Yes, I agree. The fact that they can afford to pay more is a kind of mystery for me when I hear someone complain that they have to pay more. People should not be greedy misers.
