it would be unfair if the 40k guy didn't jump tax brackets if his income were to increase. Since it does, it's hard to call the current tax system 'unfair', when gap between rich and poor seems to be growing at an ever increasing rate

the funny thing about these taxes is they inevitably create more jobs, enabling more people to gain income and thus spend.

having ones cake and eating it too..
