That's not what OP says. You're talking about an absolute $150k, that is communism (everyone gets paid the same amount). He's talking about a fair percentage of taxes, paid by everyone, regardless of their income. This way, people that are left with little can be helped, and people that are left with a lot can still enjoy their wealth. I think 50% is fine, but taxes should be fair, no taxing already taxed goods or assets, and the ultra rich should not have ways to avoid paying their share like they do now.
