Money doesn't just buy a nice car; it also buys better education or healthcare. Increasingly, it can buy impunity from justice, a pliant media, favorable laws, business advantage, and even elections. This, in turn, perpetuates the policies that allow a tiny elite to accumulate ever more wealth at the expense of the majority.

A tax system is important because of what it can pay for, but also for how it works.

It also pays for what private finance shouldn't: our needs for healthcare, education and social security.
