Don, your post is confusing to me. First you call for the same percentage across the board, then further down you write, "...decide on the size of that percentage, and give the lowest paid discounts from 100% down to the standard rate as they climb the pay scale."

It seems as if you're calling for a flat percentage rate tax, but are also calling for a riff on a progressive tax structure.

Will you please clarify what you're really suggesting?
