This pdf by a well known Canadian "financial think tank" seems to indicate, if I have done the math correctly - that the rich (at least in Canada) pay MORE than their fair share.

Naturally this is in regards to individuals and not corporations.

In the end it's not the rich individuals you need to tax (at least not, those with less than say 50 or 100 million) - it's the corporations that have got away with avoiding the trap of inflation (because they are approximately 1/3 of the conspiracy to make it happen).

By hoarding their money and paying less each year (when factoring in inflation) - it creates a money vacuum - scarcity, that proceeds to drive up inflation as much as actual over-printing.
