So am I, and they raised mine too, but I'm not complaining, because even with all the social massive contributions, I'm still paying less (ie taking home more) than I would in the UK on my tax return.

And fwiw, this 75% rate is on anything earned *over* 1 million - it's a tax bracket, not 75% on everything. And it's only valid 2 yrs. Before it was 60% if I'm not mistaken, so a big increase, but not huge.

I've nothing against it myself, as I'll never earn a million a year. And if I earned 1.2m a year, to pay an extra 30k in taxes more than the other govt (which is what this amounts to) wouldn't bother me Taken as "75% tax on 1million" is drama, when in fact it's pennies.
