Progressive Taxation

Uses the current IRS tax brackets. In a progressive system, your income is 'filled' into buckets; only the income within a specific bucket is taxed at that bucket's rate.

Fun Fact: The US federal income tax was originally a 'temporary' measure to fund the Civil War in 1861. It was later made permanent by the 16th Amendment in 1913.
