Since the tax tables need to be adjusted anyway, why not invert them just for fun ?
Put the highest tax rate on the first chunk of income, then lower rates on successively higher incomes. Punish failure and mediocrity, and reward success. What a novel concept that would be.
Obama has already accomplished that. 63 cent national tax on smokes was a kicker for the poor. 10% to 15% on the poor is a 50% tax. Yea, he’s a genius. Thank God he never hit the rich.
