> Tax rates are marginal, meaning that more effort leads to more reward, still. > Why would you try to push forward your society if it seems like no matter what you do, wealth inequality is just going to increase Curious how you seem to flip-flop between understanding marginal gains and not understanding them. The reason you would try to push forward your society is that more effort leads to more reward, still.

What you are saying is correct in the dimension of income but not in the dimension of power. The power of those with more wealth is steadily increasing, and the power of those without wealth is steadily decreasing. To many it seems like the game is rigged and no amount of effort is going to be able to give them a say in what direction our society heads in.

  Even if there is no amount of effort that will prevent your power from decreasing, more effort still gives you more power.

    Yes but if the game you’re playing will only hand you losses time and again, then you will look for a different game, or lose motivation/give up.
