Wouldn't work in my system ANY income would be taxed as the same so 1
dollar salary and 1 million dollar bonus would be taxed as one lump.
Its a totally unfair system now where the wealthy can pay to avoid tax
and the ones who need the money can't.
BTW I am not bitching because I consider myself poor, quite the opposite
as a member of the Elite social class <

not a "well to do" to be at least a "doing well". I just feel sad when
so many are suffering in what we describe as civilised society just
because of greed.
