The percentage just below the line where aspiring to riches and wealth becomes pointless because you will be taxed well over 50 % annually.

The trick to a progressive tax structure is to keep the drive or rat race for wealth rampant, but not so low that the wealthy and rich become entitled to every penny they earn. Or so high, no one aspires to wealth because they see the wealthy paying so much of their annual income that being wealthy means working as hard as a school teacher in an inner city school district known for rampant gang violence.
