I think everyone on this thread is aware that it's an arbitrary line. That's where the "how rich is too rich?" comment comes from. That's where the "Let’s start somewhere. We can adjust if we need." The "start somewhere" is meant to be read in good faith as something achievable. The history of US taxation shows us that 94% on taxable income over about $2.5 million is achievable, while you have no evidence that 100% taxation above $100 per month is doable. You can nitpick my examples, but there's plenty more I can do. Why is a 29 year old adult prohibited from being Senator? Why is 65 mph a legal speed limit but 65.1 mph illegal? Why is the reporting limit for cash payments at $10,000 and not $15,000 or $8,000? When road speed limits for machines were first put into place, the idea wasn't to start and 1 mph and work up from there. They already had vehicles that could do 10mph, and the 4 mph limit was a good walking speed for the flag bearer. And the recent feedback from Wales is that lowering the urban speed limit from 30 mph to 20 mph reduced the number of people who were killed or seriously injured, by 28 per cent, suggesting the limit was too high, if human lives are important.
