It's already 47% above 180k (including the Medicare levy), not to mention the GST on most goods and services. The rich pay the vast majority of the tax in this country, and raising tax rates risks pushing some of them to move overseas. (Which results in less taxes collected overall among other issues). It's a fine balance. The real problem, as I see it, is companies and individuals who find ways to avoid paying taxes. We need to fix the loopholes.
There's also 6.5% payroll tax that we never see.
