Roads and bridges are not bought with tax percentages, they are bought with tax dollars. Somebody making twice as much as you paying the same tax rate is paying twice as much tax as you.



Somebody making twice as much as me can afford to pay more than twice as much as me in taxes and still make more money than me. Money has diminishing returns anyways.

I don't know why you downvoted me- I'm in favor of tiers.
