<html>I have a proposal for a tax plan that I think would be great for <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> and reward those who put in a full days work:     Set the income tax rate based on hourly pay, not yearly income.  Amt. earned per year / # of hours worked = income/hour.  <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>    In this system, people Allan works 1800 hours/year to make $75,000 would be taxed at a lower rate than person Bill who works 1000 hours/year to make the same amount.  Allan who worked at  $41.66 /hr would be taxed at say 10% while Bill who worked at $75/hour would be taxed at 12%  I know piano tuners are independant thinkers, so that is why I am asking your opinion.
