Progressive taxation is just negative feedback for earning more.<p>Most taxes are percentage based.
Let&#x27;s assume tax level is 20%.
- one earns $1000 he will give $200 in taxes,
- one earns $10000 he will give $2000 in taxes.<p>Richer person already gives more to the society than the poor one, taxing the rich guy with higher taxes is just a way of making them guilty because they made it.
Progressive taxation here in Europe actually hits the middle class the most, as most of them are already in the highest tax tier (I&#x27;m not talking about the ridiculous French 75%) and as soon as you reach this level you are suddenly hit by a big tax. It makes you wonder, what you did wrong?
