Agreed, and that's a big part of why we've kept the escalated system. Everybody pays at least X; those making a higher amount pay X+4%; those making much higher X+8%; etc 

20 years ago I favored a flat tax. I don't know how feasible it is with income disparity combined with a lack of representation for the majority of people. I mean, a flat tax would be fine if everybody got a share (affordable healthcare, affordable education, job access, etc). But with representation as it is now, that doesn't happen.
