Should taxes only go up on those who are "killing it"? How do we measure "killing it"?

Alternatively, what kind of substantive financial burdens would be imposed by raising taxes on those making $250,000 per year? What have we avoided in terms of economic impact (on the individual tax payer) by raising the threshold?
