cf 'fat-cat salaries'
How many of the thousands of whingers who plague this country night and day would take a job paying them 1m a year and give all bar 30k (or whatever) away because that would be ‘fair’? The answer is about 3 – who are very nice but also clearly a bit mental.

yes
it is the same point. the whingers couldn't do that job, however much they want to bash said fat-cat.

of course, some of the fat-cats can't do the job either, but that's a matter for their employer...

There are people who whine too far, absolutely.
But arguing about what is and isn't a fair tax on money you've earned is a whole different game to what is and isn't a fair tax on money you've done absolutely fuck all to deserve.

straw man
Even at 60% tax you're keeping 400K. And there are any number of ways to keep more.
