Originally posted by normbenign Tax rates of 90% were always a joke. Nobody actually paid those rates. Who, in his right mind, would continue to work and earn if 98% were confiscated?

Presumably employers would be obliged to set salaries with the likely tax rates in mind. In addition, high tax rates could be a useful deterrent for anyone in a position to set his or her own salary, so employers would be more likely to plough funds back into the business, or donate them to philanthropic causes, etc.
