If you want to "collectively decide" how to "better use" MY money, I can just move it to a different jurisdiction and you'll get what you deserve - nothing. If the value of what your "collective decision" gives me for "60% tax bill" is not there, the money will rightfully leave.
I'm sure public infrastructure, public schooling, police and fire departments, national defense, etc etc had absolutely nothing to do with your success, and society as a whole does not deserve a single cent back.
Excluding sales tax since that's consumption based and not income based, how much money would a person have to earn, and under what conditions, to hit a 60% marginal rate?
Don't worry, you are not the problem...the problem is all these morally, self righteous people doing their best to abide by the intent of the tax code even when they think the system isn't fair (or well managed)....even though you have more control in what is 'collectively decided' then they do...

There is a great parable explaining how this works: http://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/the-tax-syst...
