✍️ Wealthy individuals should pay higher taxes

Wealthy individuals should pay higher taxes because they have more resources and can contribute significantly to society. This additional tax revenue can be used to improve public services like education and healthcare, benefiting the entire population.

However, taxing wealthy individuals too heavily might discourage entrepreneurship and investment. It could also lead to tax evasion, where people find ways to avoid paying taxes, which can harm the economy. A balanced approach is necessary to ensure fairness and economic growth.
