I think the wealthy should pay no taxes at all, after all the money only goes to social welfare and not for anything good

Taxation is an important means of collecting funds to pay for essential public services, such as public education and healthcare, which benefit not only the wealthy, but also low and middle-income earners. Therefore, it is generally considered to be progressive; meaning, those with higher incomes pay a greater proportion of their earnings in taxes than those with lower incomes.
