I'd actually much rather have a flat income tax rate. I feel that is the only way to be fair. However, these numbers don't mean much. I'm going to guess the top 50% of earners in the us make 97% of the money, the top 25% earn 86% and the top 1% make 40% of the money? Then it would be fair? Without knowing their effective rates, we don't really know how even it is.
