    People should be always taxed more depending on how much more they make starting at 500,000$ a year for a single person imo. Once you hit that threshold you’re far above a normal human…far above.

      Yeah, the problem being that they get compensated in shares, etc, above that point, meaning they dodge all the income tax anyway.

      If wages/salary are your primary/only source of income, you are not part of the wealthy class, even if it is $500k. Not even close.
