This plan levels the playing field for the 99% of us who might have an idea and want to reap the benefits of it for ourselves. The middle-size business tax rate should allow decided by economist for maximum economic competitive globally and taxed on a flat basis as this model does for middle-income American earners. Small and large business should be taxed progressively in accordance with the model. This logic may also be applied to state and local governments for any given income distribution and target taxation level and would provide taxation stability and certainty.
