>>20835843>18%again, you're only using the federal, cantonal and local tax. you're excluding social security contribution and VAT.
and that's just income taxation.
>it's as if poor people aren't also paying taxesif unis are not publicly funded anymore, this will be reflected in their taxes as well.
it remains true that poor people receive a disproportionate amount compared to what they actually give though.
>same outcome as in the USthe US has hardly a free market in education.

>taking away opportunities from people who had potentialwealth is one of the many factors that determine success. it is itself potential.
one cannot "buy" the possibility to be born in a wealthy family, just like one cannot "buy" the possibility of being born smart/strong/fast and so on.
also (again) refer to my previous points.
meritocracy is about who is best qualified to fulfill some position given their pre-existing conditions, not based on "if's"
people don't start out with the same stats or spawn place
finally, your points still don't justify stealing.
