With respect, as PD says, that sort of comment would be best upon the tax board. I can't let it go though without pointing out that the "public good" that income tax was introduced to pay for was to kill people. (i.e. a war).
Then again, I'm no saint. I questioned taxation on inflation.
Possibly we should stick to taxation on shares as in the thread title, rather than the rights and wrongs of paying more or less tax or what "public good" it does.
