First off, I'm not aware that (B) is generally true when you get to the high income brackets. Secondly, I believe that people in highly paid positions are more likely to be able to "game the system" to give them higher salaries. I don't know how else a CEO can make over a hundred million dollars per year.

People are entitled to the fruits of their labor, true. But how much fruit can a person really eat? I think it's fair to take higher percentages from relatively very high incomes even after compensating for the cost of bare necessities, because of the diminishing returns of practical usefulness of money. But the point is a bit moot since we don't have such a system in place (of compensation).

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
