Um, TJ. The income tax rates are structured such that the first $8,500 in income is taxed at 10%, then the income after that up to $34,500 is taxed at 15%, then the income up to $83,600 is taxed at 25%, and so on. It's a continuous line. I admire the sentiment though.

Besides, if you put this sort of thing to an explicit vote, as mentioned above, I suspect we will see that most people want a low tax society, and therefore lower government spending than currently.

Only in the US, where people have been brainwashed by the anti-State propaganda for decades.

Also, LOL at the idea that "low taxes=low government spending." Have some of us learned nothing from Reagan and GW Bush?

Ah yes, what low taxes those were!!!
