I would exempt the first $30, 000.00 and have from there upward be taxed at a flat rate, including capital gains.
The $30, 000.00 exemption would, though, include a Millionnaire's first $30k as well.
And as you might be able to see... I have broken it down to show the inequity in that scenario as well... it is just another name for the same progressive bullshit
I don't care if it's not fitting to your personal worldview, I find it more humane - and it has the added bonus of not taxing ANYone on their first $30k.
So... you would not refrain from claiming other things as unequal treatment when they go against your personal situation, I would tend to guess.... like so many others..
It is about what our government is supposed to be about... the protection of freedoms and the equal treatment by government under law
