(14,733 posts)Any and all income treated the same, with a 30k tax credit for everyone to start, then marginal tiered rates like we have now, so that if you make less than 30k, you don't pay anything, 5% from 30-50k, 10% above 50k, 20% above 100k, 30% above 250k, 40% above 500k, 50% above 1 mill, 60% above 10 mill, 70% above 50 mill, 80% above 100 mill, to the point that you're paying 90% on any income over 100 mill a year.
A per child credit for anyone making less than 100k, and basically no other credits or deductions.
And the same tax rate for estate taxes.
