When you start talking about rates in the 90% range what you're really asking for is for rich people to hire a tax attorney or account to lie to you about how much money the rich person makes. It's the definition of dead weight loss.

Rich people find tax loopholes to exploit. Outright lying can get them thrown in jail.
