Besides, only a part of taxes goes to enriching the wealthy. Some is still used for good, useful causes.

Of course, rightwing grifters are hard at work to change that, but for now, some part of taxes is useful and good.

    Including the money your workplace pays for you? SS and such? In Spain if we include everything it's close to 40% if you earn like 30k gross and above (without counting what the company pays for you, counting what they withhold for you)
