There was once a rich man and a poor man. The state decides to help the poor man, so to get funds it raises a tax. The rich man's tax adviser tells him where to move his money, when and how to move his money, so he pays very little of the tax, the poor man has no tax adviser and so pays a lot of it. The state then employs a civil servant to spend to money on the poor man, but first of course the civil servant takes a share to cover the expenses, (with a bit extra of course), the civil servant then feels better off, and so the civil servant buys an even bigger house, from the rich man's company, who also got richer.

And so everyone is happy, the state has done something about poverty, the civil servant is better off and the rich man is even richer. Did I forget somebody ?
