Think of the percentages in terms of time instead. So, for example, a 20% tax means you work one day a week for the government and the remaining 4 days of the workweek for yourself. It doesn't matter how much you make during that time - it's a "best effort"-based system.

That's an insightful way to think about it. I just realized we're operating under large scale Feudalism?
Poor people work 1 day/week (or so inefficiently that it should be considered 1 day/week), and therefore should be paying a 100 tax. Exactly what I was saying.
