>You said that about income above $200K in a single year. That's not a very high threshold.

You're right. I was thinking more along the lines of what we were discussing earlier -- the $500K-$750K range. But still, 30% on, say, the last $25K of a $225K someone's made (after deductions) seems just fine by me. That's an extra $1250. Big deal.

>Either way, where that threshold is doesn't matter. The fact that you think such a threshold should exist at all is completely absurd, and it proves that you think government should force some standard of income and class egalitarianism upon society.

Yes I do. Happy?

>You ignore the fact that every attempt at an egalitarian society in modern history has ended up in failure.

Almost every society in history -- period -- ends up in failure at some point or another. And I'm not advocating anything even near what we had 50 years ago. We didn't fail then..
