My general thoughts around income inequality are that too much of it is bad, and too little of it is bad. There has to be a certain amount of inequality in terms of income so that there is incentive to climb the ladder through hard work and innovation. Too much of it though, and that climb becomes so steep that it's discouraging if not nearly impossible. As far as taxes are concerned, the biggest issue to me is that its a convoluted system that's a mess to navigate. Follow the advice of the Navy and KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
