After hearing arguments for decades pro and con, I am still firmly convinced that the Constitution specifically prohibits "graduated" anything.

What's the meaning of "equal"?

As in equal protection?

Nice table, but please tie the %'s to actual $$amts.

Also the tax rate in the next table should show %bracketed
for each %amount only. Top 5 percent ---- 22.95 percent--does that include the Top 1%? or 2%-5% ?
