89. Maybe, but not that high
I could see 50%, but once the feds start taking more than half of my income (regardless of what it is), I stop working and go on the dole. It's just a principle of mine - no government should be able to take more than half of what you work to earn, no matter how much money you make. My breaking point is 51% - even Bill Gates shouldn't have to give up more than half of what he makes (JMHO).
Just my opinion, feel free to disagree. I just would never bother to work for any amount of money if I knew I'd only get to keep 30% of it and still have tons of other taxes to pay. I'd rather take a crappy job where no ambition is required or just stop working.
