Where does the money come from to pay for public services ? Certainly not the 45% of adults in the UK who don't contribute at all.
they should pay even more, they have a lot more that 27% of the wealth.

Bezos paying 500million out of a fortune of 188bn is pathetic.

the richest 1% in America have the lowest effective tax rate, even lower than the poorest.
this is a result of decades of policies by the rich to help the rich
