Ahh but you see, this is not fair at all. My country also has 19% flat tax rate, or you can do 18% up to around $15k and 32% thereafter.
Let me use myself as an example here. Poland is a fairly poor country, and i easily make 20 times what the average person here does monthly (the real average wages here are maybe 1/3rd what they claim they are...). I'm paying 20 times more tax then these people, and driving on the same uneven roads full of holes and using the same doctors and same hospitals. If i got some kind of special treatment, I would be fine with this. However, fact is that if something happens to me and i go to the hospital, I will have to wait in line behind alcoholic bums that stand in front of stores drinking every morning at 7am that do nothing but collect social assistance.
For it to be FAIR for me to pay 20x the tax the average person does, I should either be getting preferencial treatment, my own seperate roads or at the very least i should get some kind of remote control so I dont have to wait at red lights or always have right of way (It's not my problem how this will work logistically, they have people to figure this out). I am worth more to the country, and I should be treated as such
