That&#x27;s easy to explain (although it might be tricky).<p>The marginal value of money decreases as the absolute value increases.<p>Getting a raise from $1k per month to $2k per month is more significant than from $2k to $3k<p>Meaning that if you earn more, you&#x27;ll usually save more.<p>So now stuff is taxed at 50% (VAT or Sales tax), so everything will cost more, but it will be easier for the rich to afford it, because of no income tax, and harder for those with less income (their income tax was not high to begin with)
