This idea has always fascinated me, that if you tax the rich, somehow they loose the will to work harder and earn more money. It's not that the ultimate amount that is limited, but you have to work harder to get it, but then all of a sudden you also expect the poor people to work hard and earn more money, so somehow poor people are supposed to work harder and earn more money, but rich people cannot find the will to work harder?
I'm in favor of some kind of balance, nothing too extreme, but again, this idea that if you tax at rates above 33-40%, the rich suddenly lose the will to work and will not work any harder to earn more money? Just seems so crazy to me...
