Making a lot of money, does not make someone "more" productive than someone that makes less. Most extremely wealthy are not Donald Trumps or Elon Musks, they are almost always trust fund babies whom inherited their money from their family.
With these kinds of people, they are not producing anything, their money just grows because they pay investment bankers to babysit their money. They are not producing anything, but their accountants and investor are by using the money.
So a postal worker making $50k a year is far more productive than some trust fund baby that probably has never done a days work in their life,
Even still, I don't agree with taxing someone at a higher percent than anyone else. Everyone should pay a flat tax rate and there shouldn't be special treatment up or down the chain.
