Well yes. But the person I responded to implied they'd be in favour of taxing the rich even if the money wasn't needed elsewhere - in this hypothetical, utopian case I wouldn't give a shit about their taxes. (Again, I know they were being facetious, I'm just mad at this woman right now and don't want to see the humour in it)

    It’s not a joke. Taxes on the rich should be raised because excessive wealth and income inequality is bad for society. If the government doesn’t need it for any particular project it should be redistributed evenly across the society.
