Many years ago I was a computer salesman for a major company. Our commission structure was as follows. 6% for the first 100K in sales, 4% for 100-200k, then 2% for all sales over 200K in a calendar year. This wasn't working out that well, so the company reversed the structure. Now, all sales over 200K went UP to a 6% commission. BOOM! Lots more sales! Suddenly, all my fellow salesman were pounding a lot more pavement towards the end of the year. Whereas, in the original structure, the last few months of each year saw us getting lazy because we would delay the business until the start of the new year to get the higher commission. My point here is...What do you think would happen if we did the same restructuring with income tax rates? I think my company was a microcosm of the success that could be attained if tax rates WENT DOWN as your income went UP!

...if tax rates WENT DOWN as your income went UP! ... Oh be still my heart! That would be great if we could get it!
