I could probably find some.

I don't have time.

Think it through. It's a matter of common sense:

That table is the reason I am intrigued by the idea of a flat tax or a national sales tax. A "progressive" tax, is just the attemp to redistribute wealth. Why is that if you make more money that the government assumes that you should be willing to give a larger percentage to them? Because you can spare it? I'm glad the government knows the ins and outs of my home finances so well that it knows that it can do more good with that money than I can.

I'm going to look into this a bit more, because I would like to see what the impacts are, but looking at that table doesn't convince me that it wouldn't work.
