Yes, it seems unfair to charge the individual making more money more tax, but if enacted in a reasonable manner, it does shift the burden of taxation onto those most able to pay while also causing minimal impact to those already financially struggling.

Are you insane?
Just because some of use are blessed with a sustainable income does not mean it is fair. It cost more to make more. You drive a Toyota slant car, I drive a Maybach. My oil changes cost more than the purchase price of your yellow death mobile. Do you want to tax me so much I have to ride a bicycle?
I have to have a small fleet of airplanes. I have to be able to at any location on this flat earth on a moments notice, even a delay going through security could mean the jobs of hundreds of people if a deal is not made. Do you want to tax me out of ownership?
Many people depend on my acute business sense to maximize profits for the investors and those entitled to bonuses based on profits. If you liebrals over tax me, the trickle down effect will be devastating. Do you want to tax me so heavily that my employees do not get paid enough to afford to shop anywhere but Wal*Mart?
Christ has enabled me to make a lot of money to do His work. I spend millions every year doing transactions for God. Do you want me to short change baby Jesus?
Son, until you have a business degree and make something of your life, your baseless opinions just infuriate people.
