and of course that's not something you want in any tax system. i'm not an american, and I was making a general point about objections to progressive taxation. Given the talmudic complexity of the american tax code I see your point, though. So point taken, there may indeed be circumstances in which it is rational to restrain your earnings to make more money under the u.s. tax system. Which as you say isn't progressive.
