Completely disagree. If you use your logic you could say the poll tax is a good idea, its using your logic just the advantage is to the higher earners not the lower.. and we all know what a bad idea the poll tax was. Of course initialy it wouldnt be the same as the poll tax because I assume there will be different bands, but when you start adding fixed costs rather than percentages on to that when its increased, you shall get the lower income earners paying more and more with the higher paying not much compared to their salary..
