Progressive taxation is fair: someone who makes 0 from the way society is structured pays 0, because the system is clearly not working for them. Someone who makes the average wage contributes accordingly, but they are not a winner. People who are doing very well are paying a premium to society for creating the conditions for them to be doing so well.

Too bad that when you go even higher the effective tax goes down again due to all sorts of accounting tricks and outright evasion.
