[quote poster=qzjul; 15115; 272358]weasel and TY you need to both learn how graduated taxes work =/

a linear taxrate of 30% @ 100k to 90% @ 1M with 100k exempt would mean that the following Income | Take-home | Taxes | Effective Taxrate would be like so:

Income		Take Home	Taxes		Effective Taxrate
0		0.00		0		0.0%
30000		30000.00	0		0.0%
50000		50000.00	0		0.0%
80000		80000.00	0		0.0%
100000		100000.00	0		0.0%
130000		120700.00	9300.00		7.2%
200000		166666.67	33333.33	16.7%
300000		226666.67	73333.33	24.4%
500000		326666.67	173333.33	34.7%
800000		426666.67	373333.33	46.7%
1000000		460000.00	540000.00	54.0%
2000000		560000.00	1440000.00	72.0%
10000000	1360000.00	8640000.00	86.4%
42000000	4560000.00	37440000.00	89.1%
100000000	10360000.00	89640000.00	89.6%
1000000000	100360000.00	899640000.00	90.0%

I don't think the guy making 130k is going to be choked about paying 7% taxes; nor is the guy 1M going to be choked about paying 54% taxes; and the guy making 1B/year is probably not going to worry about taking home ONLY $100M

lol you are delusional. if i had a job that allowed me to make 1b a year and i was only able to keep 100m because of taxes i would be fluffing pissed. just because 100m seems like alot to you doesnt mean its alot to someone else who worked to put themselves into a position to be that rich.
