Madp, the income tax is progressive, meaning that people making more than X pay higher taxes for every Euro above X. They still make tons of money, only less than they would have had with (say) a flat tax. I for one pay some 35% taxes, which is on the lower side of things. I do get some benefits, but not many; I could probably be considered lower-middle-class.
Suppose I get a new and better job, where I earn 3 times the current amount (not unrealistic for me, I might add). I'd then be paying more taxes, but I'd still have more money than I do now. And I already have a positive balance every month...
