The tax system is intentionally designed to punish the middle class and below (usually employees). And it intentionally rewards the rich (usually employers and investors). This is because the rich are doing the government doesn't want to do. The rich tend to create jobs, provide housing, organize labor, and so on. Now when I say rewards and punishments I am speaking to percentage of income. At the end of the day the rich and corporations pay the grand majority of the nations taxes.
The best idea I have heard to date is the Negative Income Tax.

Be nice to Mr. Ross, I can't think of any reason he deserves so much venom. Chill out... death and taxes will march on either way.
