The taxes are "progressive", the more you earn, the larger percentage amount of your income the government will steal from you. If you earn just a little bit, the government might only steal 19%, if you earn more than just a little bit, the government will take up to 47%. Then they will use that money on anything as long as it doesn't in any way represent the interests of the Spanish citizens. They'll waste it on various DEI, climate change, anti-privacy, pro-3rd world immigration, World Economic Forum shit, and other initiatives that are aimed at turning you into a perpetual slave.
