I'm not sure if the tax rate is the root cause, but they certainly came close to hitting the nail on the head saying "What sucker wants to earn $10 million/year at a 52.5% tax rate when you can get away with hundreds of millions in one take at just 15%?"

For decades we've valued the growth of capital over salaries, we are living the results of this policy, and need to see a reverse to a position where the result of salaries grow faster than capital.
