Tax the rich?

[cheap]

Small list of where out tax money goes, multiply this by the 50 to 15,000 public servants "required" for administration and compliance. Countless dubious processes and procedures. Add the making one look busy mentality and the culture of more people means more responsibility means more remuneration - we're instantly into multi-billion costs. Would there be any duplication with in these departments or the states? Would private industry be able to run some of these better?
