A comment on Really rich people are suddenly paying quite a bit more in taxes. Parent comment
Are you proposing replacing the tax bracket system with an algebraic equation?
I wonder if that would be more or less confusing. I guess if you just showed people "this is what the tax curve looks like", it would be obvious that:
1) They need to use a calculator or look up in the tax table.
2) You don't actually lose money when your income goes from $37,449 to $37,451.
