In my example the $35,000 worker paid nothing.
In my example the $350,000 worker paid about $30,000.
The second part of your comments sounded as if the government should be dis-incentivizing the earning of wealth. I do NOT agree. We should incentivize the earning of wealth. If the market wants Harry Potter, it will buy it. JK Rowling is a great example of a welfare recipient, working hard to make it. Couple that with Oprah Winfrey, and George Soros, you can see that anyone can make it from harsh living standards to wealthy. You say these people do not provide real value to the economy. Who are you to say such a thing. The market has spoken otherwise! If there was not real value, it would not have survived.
