Dutch Tax and the 10 drinkers

Suppose that everyday 10 men meet in a bar chatting and drinking beer . The total count of ten men is $ 100.
If they should pay the account in proportion to taxes paid in the company of a country, that would be something like, according to the scale of wealth and income of each: The first 4 men (the poorest) paid nothing. The 5 th pay $ 1. The 6 th pay $ 3. The 7 th pay $ 7. The 8 th pay $ 12. The 9 th pay $ 18. The 10 th (the richest) paid $ 59.
So that's what they decided they would henceforth, all having fun, and were in accordance with the agreement between them. Until one day, the owner of the bar they got into a problem: "Since you are such good customers," he said, "I will reduce the cost of their beers a day at $ 20. The drinks now cost $ 80."
The group did, however, continue to pay the account in the same proportion as they did before, so that the first four continued to drink for free. The cuts were not concerned at all.

But what about the other six drinkers, those who actually pay the bill? How should divide the $ 20 windfall so that everyone gets a fair share? Estimated that $ 20 divided by 6 was $ 3.33. But if you subtract that portion of each, then 5 and 6 would be charging for drinking man, as the 5 th paid before $ 1 and 6 º $ 3.
Then the bartender suggested it would be fair to reduce each account for approximately the same proportion, and proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay: The 5 th drinker, as well as the top four would pay nothing (100% savings). The 6 th pay now $ 2 instead of $ 3. (You save 33%) The 7th would pay $ 5 instead of $ 7. (You save 28%). The 8th would pay $ 9 instead of $ 12. (You save 25%). The 9th would pay $ 14 instead of $ 18. (You save 22%). The 10 th would pay $ 49 instead of $ 59 (you save 16%). Each of the six payers was now in a better situation than before. And the first four drinkers continue to drink free, and a fifth well.

But once outside the bar, began to compare their savings. "I only got a weight of $ 20 saved, "said the 6 th man. He pointed to the 10 th drinker and said," But he got $ 10! "" That's right, "said the 5 th man." I only saved $ 1. It's unfair that he got ten times more than me. "" Truth! "Exclaimed the 7 th man." Why did he get $ 10 back when I got just $ 2? The rich always get the greatest benefits! "" Wait! "Yelled the first four at once." We have not received anything. The system exploits the poor! "
The nine men surrounded the 10 and beat him.

The next night the 10th man did not show to drink, as it was to drink a more friendly environment, so the nine sat down and drank their beers without him. But when the bill they discovered something disturbing: Among them, not raise the money to pay even HALF of the bill.
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary. For those who did not understand, no explanation.

That happens in any society where taxes are increased to more rich, who generate jobs through business. Just take their money and their investments elsewhere. And the poor get poorer. Robbing the rich to give to the poor in the long run does not end poverty. It is best to encourage the rich to invest their money in job creation, business creation, and that if, ultimately, reduce poverty.
