Another aporistic query!
Less than 0.005% of UK taxpayers are billionaires. They are rare even in the top 1%. The challenge is to find a fraction they will accept paying and that will work for the other 99.995% too.
£20,000,000 pa, per billion is pretty definitely paying their way in my mind.
Running the UK costs us (the government) about £1.3 billion pa or about £20,000 per person, all in.
So everyone (man, woman and child) needs to generate £20k for their share of the state. For each that doesn't, someone has to make it up or debt grows.
That does not address why billionaires pay less tax than the 99%?
