@freemo@pmonks@QasimRashid First of all, the top US tax bracket is 7x higher than the Dutch one, and 12.5% less. The "OUTRAGEOUS" Biden proposal to raise the top income tax bracket would still have Americans earning ~€489k paying rates like Dutch earning €35k.
Second, even when top US rates were +80%, almost nobody was paying them. Why? Because the whole point was to redirect income into capital investments.
