Quite.

I have no idea what the average wage is, but say someone earns £20k in a year. Forget about tax, NI for the moment.

Someone earning £1m in a year makes 50 times that.

Someone earning £1b in a year makes 50,000 times that.

According to Oxfam, since 2020, billionnaires are $3.3trillion better off. That's more than the UK's GDP. Corporations pay the tax they see fit as they won't be challenged. Some say we shouldn't challenge them as they provide jobs and taxation, but I disagree. Any company that makes the huge profits these corporations make should pay the correct levels of tax, not tell governments what they want to pay.
