    IMO the uber rich's income is via dividends fully franked.

    IMO the fair thing to do is to increase the top tax rate
    -say $500K P/A +) to 60% so that billionaires living
    off FF dividends & now paying 15% income tax
    have to pay a net 30 % income tax . This is what
    some European countries do.

    Top income tax rates:
    Switzerland: .......59.7%
    Japan ................56%
    Spain .................54% etc etc
    (Source : Wikipedia)

    If these top rates click in at $500K P/A then, IMO,
    it wont effect too many on these threads....eh?

    One would not consider any of these as Socialist,
    In fact Switzerland & Japan are as Capitalist as you get.
