Students of mafias (and taxation) find that 20-30% of income is the point where negative effects on the business’ viability begin to show. I don’t have citations handy.
Former Pakistani president Zardari was known as Mr. 10%. Christian churchs have a tradition of 10% tithes, and some successful churches use ‘status as one who tithes’ as a necessary criteria for (unpaid) positions of trust and responsibility within the organization of the church.
According to the film ‘American Pimp’, pimps in general demand 100% from their workers, rationalized with (paraphrasing to remove colorful language) ‘I post 100% of bail, and provide 100% of a roof, so they need to be out earning 100%’.
I react negatively to the 50% ask, and upon reflection, suspect that this emotional reaction may be due to a feeling that this obligation resembles the one inflicted by an ex-wife in the American system.
