Quote:Just to take my own example: When I was a student my monthly budget was about €600 of which €550 went to satisfy my basic living needs (rent, food, health insurance, internet). Now I work full time and my net income is around €2.000/month, over three times as much. But I only spent €1.200/month on my basic living needs. Point is; A thousand people with $100 each will spend more than ten people with $10.000 each.

 

And don't get me wrong; the government's job here is not to take from those ten until all have $100. Its job is to create a stable, prosperous society where a base level of living is provided to say to all who excel that base level this is the price of living in a safe and organized society.
