Re: Is it 30% across the board?

As with other progressive taxes - The ones at the top don't see it as those less able paying less, they see it as *them* paying *more*...

Along with cries of "Why should *I* be penalised for being more successful?"

See also that Question Time segment where a bloke earning £80K (top 5% of earners in the UK) thought of himself as "not even top 50%" (median income in UK is about £25k)

Sidenote: sort of how Epic themselves only charge Unreal Engine royalties after the first $1 million of revenue.
