Let's see... GDP per capita is already higher than median income.
Assume 0% below 1/2 GDP 10% between .5x and 1 x GDP 20% between 1x and 2x GDP 40% between 2x and 4x GDP 60% between 4x and 8x GDP 80% between 8x and 16x GDP 90% above 32x GDP
Your upper-middle class professional making 200k would pay 86.25k which is only 43% - but the point is that someone making 100k and getting a 100k bonus would only pocket 40k of the bonus, and that 100k + 100k is already indecent, if you ask me. At the upper end of the 80% tax bracket (400k) they'd pay 52%. When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
