Just so you know, the rest of us grudge our income tax, but pay it because of the massive benefit to us and others less fortunate

The answer is abolishing income tax below a certain threshold, and raising it above certain thresholds

Ding ding ding

No tax up to $75k, tax brackets with exponential decay reaching 95% at $1MM, all adjusted for inflation annually.

Percentages adjusted for inflation? Do you mean lower percentage of income is taxed during years with high inflation?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The tax bracket limits, obviously.

This makes sense, I agree to an extent. Abolishing income tax in hindsight is a bit extreme.
