I find myself less worked up about this topic now that I understand the position better. Proponents want to reduce income inequality, full stop.

I think it’s important to recognize that a 70%+ tax bracket would eliminate outliers. With a 70% bracket, we wouldn’t have SpaceX or Tesla - not because it would have disincentivized Elon Musk, but because he needed every cent of his PayPal exit to keep both companies alive.

(the fact that this is a cherry-picked example is exactly the point: outliers matter)

This is so spot on. But I didn’t think they knew the effects. If they do, that’s MUCH worse than pleading ignorance to effects. It’s wreckless.
