Does high top tax matter?
It's long struck me as irrational to want to earn more and more once you've got more than enough. There's a level beyond which I don't care about the extra tax rising to 100%. I won't try to work out the minimum such level, but an income equal to national average income plus national average house price plus national average car price is at least that high: If you can buy a house and a car within a year's earnings, and still have enough for the rest of life, you're earning at least enough.
