I was thinking about this for the past few days. I found some data on this, which surprised me. I asked my wife what she thought was an acceptible amount to pay, only to find out that she gave a number that is half of what is actually the case in the US.
It's a very simple poll question: When it comes to taxation, what percentage of all taxes collected should the 'rich' (top 5%) pay?
Admittedly, the answer could vary by country, as the distribution of incomes vary from country. The top 5% in America earn about 33% of all income in America. In countries with a lower GINI coefficient, I would imagine this number is smaller.
*edit: I just realized that I didn't add a poll when I started the thread. I thought it had to be done after the initial thread was posted :-*
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
