We all agree with the bolded part.
Our society is based on the balancing act of allowing economic endeavour, and balancing the needs of all.
Our current tax structures already aim to do just that without choking away business and economic growth.
This is a never perfect and always moving balance, especially depending who governs.
What exactly are you suggesting is the balance we need to strike?
You have to give more than catch phrases about the rich getting richer, inequality and capitalism.
Explain your solution and what societal structure you're looking for.
