Ridiculous.

1) Taxes should not be based on what someone can afford to "lose."

2) In your example, why do you believe that the $200K earner can "handle losing" any money at all? Perhaps the $200K earner earns their income by virtue of many years of education, paid for (temporarily) by debt, which now must be serviced.
