I earn in that range, and I'm certainly not "really anally violated" by taxes. In fact, I pay a lower percentage tax now than I did when I earned 80k, as the combination of higher pension contributions and other legal ways of reducing tax has a higher impact for high earners than for most lower earners.

Overall, I look at my neighbours who earn less combined than I earn alone, and they're far worse affected than I am by taxes despite paying far less.




You see, you also have tax arrangements to pay less. Sounds a bit hypocritical...


Hypocritical how? I've pointed out exactly that taxes in that income bracket are in fact unfairly low. I consistently vote to redress that. You're the one claiming that people at my income level are paying so much we're "anally violated", when the reality is that our tax burden is quite insignificant.
