WAGES aren't how the elite earn money.

Someone making 400k/yr is paying the top marginal tax rate. They're working. Value their job or not, they punch a clock.

That's not the rich. The rich don't work for a wage, they don't work. Their money makes them money, and instead of paying the pitiful capital gains, they borrow against their investments for tax free living.

Stop targeting wage earners, and target your anger at people who actually pull the strings.
