One law for the poor.....

[Tom62]

It is very utopian and socialist way of thinking to impose higher taxes on the rich. Problem however is, that in reality these schemes never work, because the rich have good tax consultants, who know all tricks of how to avoid paying too much taxes.

I do however believe, that the wealthy don't mind to pay tax, as long as they are taxed reasonably. Impose draconian taxes and the rich and famous move elsewhere. Why do you think that Michael Schumacher lives in Switzerland? Simply, because the Swiss offered him a much better tax-rate. It is a win-win situation for everyone (with the exception of the German tax authorities).
