Applying your own idea of richness, the obvious life-course would be to accumulate as much money as you possibly can, then, when you have just enough, cease working entirely (unless your joy is working).

So, if your idea is that people want only to earn X money, then do what they want without working, their motivations are already set out without regard to the quantity they pay in taxes. The tax rate or system, unless it is totally absurd, should be irrelevant.

What beef would you have with progressive taxation, and how would that be less fair?
