gollark: HOW theoretically?
gollark: I checked on the internet™ and apparently the bottom 50% don't contribute very much to tax, presumably because they're already quite slanted that way.
gollark: Hmm, I checked and apparently it seems like you may in fact be able to move the curves substantially rightward without impacting tax income very much.
gollark: They can move somewhere else, however.
gollark: It can't be arbitrarily low. I'm pretty sure those people are the majority of the population.
