    Look, now youre making accusations about my supposed opinion of you or myself. That is an ad hominem attack that helps to make someone stop if you dont have better arguments than them.

    I dont see myself as better. I just know because statistics are on my side. Its not status, its truth. I also dont believe in status, thats a capitalist lie. I believe in (working) class.

    I have no clue what marginal tax is. I tried reading about nl tax rates here: https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/netherlands/individual/taxes-on-personal-income

    Trying to understand how 80% tax would come together I checked this: https://taxsavers.nl/dutch-tax-system/2024-2025/tax-brackets-and-tariffs/

    But i still dont get it. Feel free to help.

      Marginal tax is the percentage calculated using the following formula:

      (Tax paid + missed social security benefits) / income before tax.

      It basically means that the missing of social security will impact the middle class a lot more than the rich percentage wise.

      Not sure what statistics you are talking about
