Probably not to 100% (because then the net income would go down) but yeah something like that. And yes you’re right, there are still many loopholes for rich people to avoid taxes so those issues should probably be fixed first. But to be fair I don’t know much about taxes or economics, it’s just an idea I had.

i think it should spiral outwards instead, that way if you need to take the third exit, you switch to the third lane and simply follow it to your exit
