re: #467 EPR-radar

The brackets are a discrete approximation to some continuous taxation curve that is itself the construct of policy (preferably a progressive tax policy).

Except that they end.

Of all the woes in the taxation world, the discreteness of the brackets is pretty low on the list (provided there are enough brackets, which we don’t presently have).

Well, it’d solve the ‘enough brackets’ problem.

However, I think there is value in putting a variable rate formula in place for the top bracket. Wealth concentration is so extreme these days that no fixed rate bracket is going to make sense up there.

Then… you kind of agree, you just want it non-variable at lower levels because— you know what? This isn’t going to happen, so we probably don’t need to hash it out. I’m having a beer.
