That's why, in theory, it sounds good to me. I mean, just looking at the tax brackets makes me crazy.

If my wife and I work hard and have a taxable income of $174,700, we'll pay around $48,916 in taxes. If we end up with 1 dollar more in taxable income, we would pay around $57651 in taxes. Make 1 more dollar, pay $8700 more dollars in taxes. Now that seems right, doesn't it? And to make matters worse, we'd have to make around $13000 more to get back to where we were before we moved up a bracket. TO BREAK EVEN, WE'D HAVE TO MAKE $13,000 MORE. That's the insanity of our current tax system.

Any thought-out talk of reform/change is welcome.
