True.
TBH it's a bit hard to argue this, as the points are so convoluted, what is the discussion even about? How shit another Labour MP sounds on the radio? Will JC ban billionaires? #notallbillionaires?
Firstly, top 1% ≠ billionaire. So a best it's a flawed point not worth making.
Secondly, bar the most extreme outliers we tax everyone in some form, and the majority of society of working age/ability do have sufficient money to be taxed.
Thirdly, given how few people in the UK are billionaires it seems like a pointless argument to get into that detracts from an attempt to make a point about increasing everyone's quality of living to a reasonable level.

But...
If you had 200k, and paid it all to one person for doing their job they would contribute more taxes than 10 people being paid 20K to do their job.
More tax money is a good thing no? So surely its not as simple as people with money = bad?
