How do you determine rich? Its not about salary really is it. The filthy rich do not receive standard pay and wages as normal workers do. It's these people that must be taxed and that includes all they receive and spend as corporate expenses . The normal worker gets taxed on perks and allowances. The filthy rich get away without any issue on their perks and out of pockets!

Yes, but also take into consideration the number of children supported in the household

Taxes should vary based on income/tax bracket. The rich will naturally be paying more than those in lower tax brackets. The rich should not receive additional tax increases.

Increase tax on consumption. User pays more. Lower income tax. Incentivise large business if they employ more people. Increased tax will push more offshore.

Should be means tested, but wealth itself is only one part of a much bigger equation; How many hours does a person have to work in order to earn the level of wealth they have? How is it offset by assets and expenditures related to their income? How far above / below a good, liveable, comfortable wage / salary does the overall position put them? Is that remuneration projected to last a significant amount of time, or terminate in the near future?

This isn't the issue, rich or middle class, you need to pay tax at a percent from profit made. The issue is what is being taxed outside of profit made. The micro transaction on very hand over is too much. 1 item that gets to me has already paid tax 3-4 times before me. From manufacturing ingredients to onselli g to companies to distribution to vendors and then the customer.
Also companies and corporations need to be scrutinised a lot harder.

No and reform the tax system to ensure that people aren’t being excessively taxed. People should PAY LESS TAX.
@B3F9HZ52wks2W
Lower taxes all round after starting a sovereign wealth fund that funds things our taxes would usually go towards
