The insignificant nobody me understands your view point.
Most, but not all, will see little TRINKLING DOWN effects, as they watch those whom are rich live in luxuries, evident with porches driven by their children....
However, may NONE be enticed by such views, as there is far far BIGGER picture of life involved, with many aspects that may be unknown - such as hardwork, education, intelligences, sacrifices, etc that the rich are successful, & needs not be envied but copied.
Each mortal is born equal, & in Singapore, our leaders did try to give every citizen an opportunity in life such as education during a child's formative years & even skills/upgrading courses to adults of ANY age to enhance one's knowledge & career paths for better financial prospects, as our Founding & forefathers had done & proven for our todays.
NO mortal is perfect, for sure not even you & I. The role of a leader is provide opportunities, & NOT fulfill desires which can range from a free bread daily to a bottomless pit of self centered needs.....
Singapore ELECTED leaders are NOT scammers or demagogues, whom promised the moon & stars, to rule over others & NOT perform, sadly evident Worldwide where democracy is just a meaningless word to fool the naive, as proven in other Nations such as Iran, RUS, etc & especially the atrocious Democratic Republic of NORTH KOREA.....
.
Ultimately, where does our increasing tax revenues go to? To individual pockets as proven in corrupted Nations, or had been utilized to provide social expenditures - which are ever increasing Worldwide as expected based upon inflation - such as upgrading of citizens skills, education, health, critical infrastructures, security, get the best of minds to help us, etc, etc, to assist in our progress & evolution....?
