I think Bobert is saying that since they control MORE than 50% of the wealth, they should pay more than 50% of the taxes.

But then, the bottom 50% of the population pays no ( net) taxes- thus is presumed to have control of NONE of the wealth.

This works, IF we ALSO let that 5%, with control of 80% of the wealth, have 80% of the VOTES TO CONTROL HOW THAT WEALTH IS USED.

As it is, they pay 50% of the taxes, and only get 5% of the votes.

And the 50% that pay no (net) taxes get 50% of the votes. Seems like they do not have a stake in the game, and no reason to vote responsibly, since NONE of the wealth is in their hands, nor are they paying any (net) taxes.
