Some people may call it punishment, others call it progressive taxation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_tax

And others can call it whatever they like as long as they end their sense of entitlement in being able to lay a claim on my earnings.

I'm aware of the definition, instead of replying with semantics you could try to outline the specifics of your defense of it.

From how I see it, in no morally relativistic sense do I see how making more money means I should have to forfeit more of my income because that's what's decided to be right and just by people who make less money.

I think if someone claims they have a bigger claim on my money because I earn more, you must PROVE why that is.

Because you have more to lose when the revolution comes.
And more tools to prepare for/profit off it :)
