My my it gets better and better in your world.

Now lets remember most people earn $1.04 per hour (i'm positive its per day, but I'll be conservative). Now if the government tax say 50%, they have 52 cents. They can't afford the $10 a day aids drugs with that. But then they couldn't with their $1.04 anyway. But if that tax runs right through a society, the government can afford a public health care system and ensure they get their aids drugs.

Now look at the other side of the scale. If I earn $1 000 000, and they tax me 50%, I still have $500 000. Am I going to starve on that?

Its only the rich who whine about wanting lower taxes, they lose a lot of money when they are taxed. Most people lose hardly anything to taxes, and as long as the government isn't corrupt, or wasting it on $500billion of arms, they can gain a lot from it.
