I am absolutely arguing that. The rich in actual mid-to-south New York and elsewhere aren't actually taxed, why would the rich in Gotham be?
Well in the case of Bruce Wayne, as an allegedly ethical billionaire, he'd pay his fair share of taxes wouldn't he? Or he'd spend that money dressing as a bat and punching poor people.
I think the Batman fiction depends on the notion of ethically rich. Heck, even the bible challenges the notion over fifteen centuries ago. 🐪🪡💰
ETA: TBF variations of Robin Hood are aristocracy, as was the Scarlet Pimpernel, and I think Zorro was as well. So Bats is not the first rich superhero by far.
