There seems to be an overriding view that most tax should be personal. Is this right though? When we see giant corporations using the infrastructure of this country (roads, health service, policing, courts etc.) and paying little in taxes for the profit that they're making, we have to ask why there's this focus on personal tax.

And it's not just personal tax, it's personal tax for those who do not have the means to avoid it. Of that top 5% that pay 50% of income tax, how much of that is actually the top 4.5% and the uber-rich pay none or very little, by comparison.
