There is another perspective: countries are people farms. The oligarchy is composed by those in the deep state and some corporations. Their objective is to impoverish so we are forced to sell what we have at low prices or/and be it selling property or our time. Then the tax model is set up to prevent people from retiring while they are still useful. In this perspective tax policies are too good.
Presidents and Prime Ministers are from the oligarchy group. Candidates are made fun of when they are genuinely democratic, and they don't get into government. The one who writes the rules during play wins the game.
