You made absurd errors in your comments and accused politicians of insane policies.
>However, you continue to receive a higher after-tax income
No. That happens under a certain subset of progressive tax systems. Specifically under bracketted systems working less might result in higher income after taxes.
>That isn't a fair way to share tax burdens.
Appealing to some notion of fairness is just stupid. Taxes do not exist to make the world fairer, they exist to fund government activities. I think punishing people for working more is pretty unfair.
The marginal utility argument is so stupid because it can be used to trivially argue against progressive tax systems. The real consequence of believing in the argument directly implies that nobody should earn more than X, for some amount of income X (like 50k) where after that the marginal utility is so low that it might as well can be given to the state to waste.
I am taxed at around 40% by the way.
