Abstract
An analysis of a debate which took place in the Czech Republic in February-March 2017 after the Czech social democratic Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka proposed to increase taxes for "rich people" (i.e. those who earn more than £ 20 000 pounds sterling annually) and the public realised that there are only 9 per cent of such people in the country.
