The numbers are simply wrong. The VAT is 21% tops and in the highest taxed region the 60K are effectively taxed at 32%.

And you miss the point that wealth is not determined by how much you earn, but how much you have.

Various super rich are nominally earning one dollar/euro.

I know doctors that have trouble finding a flat and others that complain about being classified as big renter because they only have six flats. The discriminator is not the income. (When we talk about the Ultra-Rich).
