> An yet in the current discussion, only the rich get to profit from it.

In the current discussion, it’s about people who built their wealth from _zero_ by working overtime for years of sleepless nights, sacrificing their health and personal relationships — bootstrapping entrepreneurs.

You kinda say: yay, fuck this greedy capitalist with taxes, we don’t want this kind who lift themselves from poverty through a lot of work. Instead we want people to stay poor, relying on government handouts, and only allow our usual masters with generational wealth not pay taxes, nobody is allowed to join the upper class through honest work.

> They're barely surviving because the rich keep sucking any chance of building wealth out of them

I have strong impression that you don’t personally know any person actually barely surviving (not only in Germany, but in any other country as well), and you base your opinion on pictures from social networks, where mentally ill working-age people beg for money to buy their next dose of alcohol or drugs.

> When inequality is low, more people become rich.

This literally never happened in the history of humankind when the taxes were this high (~20% VAT, up to 50% personal income tax) — feel free to provide a counterexample. Taxes this high is actual slavery.

Try Scandinavia.

I assume you're just being a drama queen now?
