I am not sure where is the misunderstanding here. The article talks about marginal tax rate at 91% on the take home pay, not effective tax rate. So I am talking about marginal tax rate here too. So NN% (number to be argued) would apply after 500K, 1M, 2M, number(s) would need to be TBD, like the existing tax code.

I find progressive tax something really nice, since it helps you get started, and is a fair way for everyone to give back when they're super successful (e.g. healthcare, education). You state this is a cancer, but why?
