Topic	If you make 120k+, 50% of your income (at least) should be taxes

It's not really that different than the current system, just with a much lower threshold (obviously too low). Right now the tax in the US on anything above 500k is at least 37%. Higher depending on whether your state has more taxes on top of that. So you're already "punished" for earning more. I also dislike the argument, because I find it doesn't actually work that way. If I were to give you a choice of making 50k and taking home 40k of it, or making 200k and taking home 130k of it, I think we all know which one you're going to choose. You still make more than the average joe with a good job, usually significantly more. The incentive is still there. This isn't a situation where they just say "Nah, you made enough, we're keeping everything you make for the rest of the year). --- Assassins do it from behind. <cite>Dynalo posted [p:900413959] in If you mak...
