Of course, the tax rates aren't set on relative worth, they're set on the number of dollars. So the more hyper inflation that exists, the more 'over 250k' earners there becomes, and the more money that returns to the treasury. Of course, reality dictates that the more oppressive the taxes, the less is remitted in taxes. Amazing how much effort people will go to for protecting their property from theft, no matter who is doing the stealing.
