"They" are the wealthy people, property owners and such, in society who make a scene if their wealth gets taxed any higher.
Every western society heavily taxes working, where often for me as a freelancer it hardly pays of to work more then 6-8 months per year.
But taxes on wealth are very low. And owning property often has many tax cuts, and tends to benefit from low interest rates.
The effect of it is is that either you play the wealth game through property or investing or you are lost out.
I think it would be fare to protect the assets people accumulate through hard work, but at the same time it should be more balanced then it is now and we shouldnt all have to be financial experts.
