>Some people think it's unfair for millionaires to be "taxed at a higher rate" when they've "earned their money." I wonder if they would still feel that way if they understood the millionaire is paying the same rate as everybody else for the first $75k, for example. In the UK at least once you go into the 45% super high earner bracket (150k I think) - you'll start to lose your tax free allowance which means you do actually pay more tax on the sub threshold income. Obviously it's still designed to ensure no one ever goes over 100% marginal tax rate (where you'd actually lose money by earning more).
