This is the wrong way to compare Europe/US. Europe's bottom third are maybe 10-20% poorer than the US'. Europe's middle third are about the same. Europe's top third are about 20-40% poorer than the US.https://twitter.com/a_r_schein/status/1055178495045853184 …
Right. But the tax trade-off the US has been making is between the marginal tax rate of the 1% (or even less) vs. everyone else, and cutoff is way, way higher than $75k.

Zero relevance to this discussion.

Uh, no. Because the rate of billionaires per capita in the US is way higher than Europe. If you're comparing welfare and tax policy between the two, ignoring anything above 150% of the median family income gives an incomplete picture in your Rawlsian thought experiment.

The surveys I am basing this on are random samples and basically don't capture anybody making over $250k.

Again, before you make silly critiques, read the thread and learn the data.
