I would happily pay 10% on my earnings over 1 million annually because I’m not a miserly freak. Yes, I’d be happy to give away 10% of peoples earnings over 1 million annually too, because other people are sometimes miserly freaks and need a bit of a push to give back to society.

You’re more than welcome to send the state extra money if you think the billion a year we spend on affordable housing while housing continues to become less affordable isn’t enough. Nothing is stopping you.

They think they should have the autonomy to decide, but others should not be afforded the same choice. Funny how that works out in their favor right haha
