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.

This goes right to the point I've been alluding. If you're doing what you do just for the paycheck, doing it more successfully is not a rosey picture, looking at it strictly by the taxes paid.
As hard as it is to do, that's why it's important to find and do what it is you love to do and reap the intrinsic rewards.
I'd wager very few people like paying taxes or what those tax dollars go to, regardless of which bracket they're in.
