While it's true that many wealthy individuals have worked hard for their money, it's also worth noting that a significant portion of the rich have inherited their wealth, meaning they didn't necessarily earn it through hard work. Additionally, the idea of progressive taxation isn't about treating the rich differently out of spite, but rather about the ability to contribute. The rich have more disposable income and can therefore afford to pay more in taxes. For example, if a billionaire pays 50% in taxes, they're still a billionaire. But if a middle-class family pays the same rate, they might struggle to make ends meet.

What are your thoughts on the principle of progressive taxation? Do you see a different solution to alleviate the burden of student loans?
