even if your top tax rate is >50% it is difficult for you to actually pay 50% in tax.

For example, in Malmö, Sweden the top tax rate is 52% and starts at 45k, but even at 70k your actual tax load is something like 36%

Not counting VAT of course.

It's typical for these discussions that people assume marginal rates and never check the effective rates.
