Yes it is. We have always had a progressive tax rate. Just like every other country in the world.
Someone making $200K does not have near $200K in taxable income. And a person with a quarter of a million in taxable income will only pay an extra $450 in taxes. I have no problem with that.

Through employer or individual? I am just asking because that trend is not the norm as I understand it.
