Which again comes down to the very-nearly-religious belief that has cropped up in only the last 30 years or so that people with lots of money are pretty much divinely entitled to keeping more of it their income than people that don't have as much.
One of the things that needs to be accounted for in taxing isn't just the flat rate of the tax itself, but what percentage of that brackets income that flat rate is, and how much income the person is left with in an absolute sense. If bill gates paid Reagan's 81% tax rate he'd still have more money than most people would ever be able to spend, but if my friend's family paid a 40% tax rate they wouldn't be able to afford ramen noodles.
