~30%, but they have to actually pay it on income generated anywhere in the world and the law made so simple that tax avoidance is not possible. Currently the problem isn't the rate but the fact that high earners pay good accountants to transfer income around so the actual amount paid is MUCH less than it should be.

What about in the UK, where income tax plus national insurance plus council tax (all universal and compulsory) is about 35% of one's income for the average earnerl? The rich pay less?
