Isn't the problem though that any time you introduce a threshold the threshold gets gamed? A tax on people making $400k a year causes a giant spike in people making $399k a year. I think no matter what you do, bad unintended consequences will occur. |

I agree, and that's why I don't freak out when we have inequality. It's unavoidable for as long as we allow humans to grow based on genetic lottery rather than pre-approved personalities. No matter what system you have, if I'm smart and selfish enough, I'll find a way to exploit it for my benefit at least, and maybe go out of my way to harm others if I'm sadistic, too.
