Don't know what you're talking about RW. I thought you were an advocate for taxing all income above $800K/year at 80%. What I said was take the average total comp of the bottom 10% of a companies employees. Tax any total comp at that company that is over 30X the base number at 80%. If a top exec wants a $300K raise he has to get the bottom 10% up $10K. ...but to think that you can equalize incomes with tax policy is ludicrous. The tax code manipulates 1000's of incentives. Passive income over active income, having children over not having children, etc, etc. About the only pure tax is a toll road.
