I live in the USA. When I was growing up, my father paid a marginal income tax rate of damned near 90% and he was STILL able to grow his law practice and amass his wealth in real estate with that sort of tax burden.. and he NEVER complained that, as a wealthy successful professional who had benefitted so much from living in these United States, he had to pay more taxes than people less fortunate.
Bullshit. I guarantee you that your father never paid anywhere near that rate. He found the loopholes that allowed him to get away with paying far less, just like every other person does. I also assure you that having a 90% tax obligation did not satisfy him in any way, shape, or form.
