Sorry, the math doesn't work with that. That sounds too much like a government seizing private funds from citizens simply because they earned too much. It's the wealthy that start business or invest in business that create jobs for the middle class. If you over tax them, the wealthiest 1% will be less likely to create new business opportunities because they will receive a heavier tax burden if they make more money. Therefore you idea will reduce jobs for middle class workers. The quest for profit creates jobs, when you take away profit, you take away jobs.
Personally, I don't like the idea of an income tax at all. If we have to have one, the fairest way is to simply have a flat tax. An affordable percentage for everyone, plain and simple. The problem is that this would eliminate most of the IRS and give politicans less over-worded tax codes to hide ways to rip us off.
