One failure mode I see here is a hypothetical employer sending paychecks right before the tax hits, sticking the employees with the tax burden. In fact, I imagine there would be a monthly rush to spend and play hot potato. Would some sort of rolling window perhaps address this?

Of course, the spending is by design - it's the forced last-minute nature of it that i wonder about.

The taxing is continuous. There is no strategy to wait to pay out.
Cool! I'm excited to see if this (or a similar system) ever gets battle tested, I think we need more innovation in how we do markets.
Agreed! Ping me Neal@metricdc.org if you want some cash. If you're looking at any other ideas in the space, would love to hear about them.
