Re: selfishness v altruism
The more money one earns, the more taxes he pays. It's taken at the source, from the income. It's a matter of percentage (proportional). But, of course, when we chose a more conservative (liberal as we call them) governement, it proposed tax cuts to our satisfaction. For instance the "look and hear" taxes (TV, radio) are being cut. It's not a radical change, just progressive.
