Even with 25% he would be paying 50.000$ (meaning he would be already contributing 4 TIMES more in taxes). Society should be thankful that he started earning more and contributing more in taxes. But NO, society is not thankful, but even punish him more by making him pay 33% instead of 25%.

I do not understand how any quality society member can be ok with that. You should encourage people to earn more, not punish for that.
