    2-6% is a joke when the rest of the population is paying >25% up to 50% or more in some places.

    2% isn’t enough. If that’s all you probably will just get capital flight.

        What this means in practice, is that someone will make a billion dollars in Brazil, and then move and spend it all elsewhere, so they can continue becoming richer. This is bad for Brazil, since developing is expensive.

        I think a hard cap would be better.
