Just saw a meme that pretends that, unlike the US, enlightened European countries tax billionaires at near 50%
This isn't true
Billionaires are business owners and investors. What actually happens is that they take a modest income (for a billionaire) which is taxed like that because income tax is high. Then their business gets tax deals where they pay single digits of corporate tax. Then the profit is paid out as dividend tax
Dividend tax in the Netherlands for example is 15%. So while billionaires are taxed, they're taxed like 20-30% on the vast majority of their actual income, and that's assuming no cute tricks to get around a lot of that, too. Billions can afford you some nice accounting tricks after all

They're now adding real names to accounts, and making them public.
