@@mortuos557 They would just all move their home address to Switzerland, so what do you gain from that ? Fair would be for everyone to pay the same percentage of their real income. Wealth making opportunities should be encouraged, and spending for private research and development that actually help society should be encouraged too. Now let's say we take their space programs away and give the money to the government. The government would squander it in a matter of minutes on bullshit like the F35, or buy some more littoral combat ships. Why do you think people like Elon Musk chose to move to America ? If you increase taxes and hamper the wealth making machine, people who drive innovation will just chose another country.

On the internet, it's always easier to blame the rich until you realise that wealth is relative and you're no better from the perspective of those with fewer resources than yourself. Ever buy yourself something you don't necessarily need? That's all Branson's doing, just on an understandably different scale. Not to mention his philanthropic endeavours would likely also similarly outscale yours, just that you'd rather push a sense of moral superiority on choices that are not yours to make regarding wealth you haven't earned.
