the more you tax rich people the more they're likely to pay themselves to make up the difference. Imagine you were on 200k, and you had to pay a huge amount of tax, if you were a business owner, what's to stop you paying yourself 250k and making up the difference? If they do that, there's less money to pay employees and the gap between those with and those without will continue to grow.
My solution would be to tax fairly - a flat rate - so that there wouldn't be a greed to pay yourself more just so that you feel you're getting what you deserved.
Increase the Tax-Free amount to help out the bottom end, but increase slightly the flat amount. That way, no one can complain!
