Typical Republican plan. A 1.5 percent tax on wages that stops at $2,200, or roughly $150,000 in income........ That way Walker and his cronies in Juneau don't have to pay more $2,200 in taxes. Of course a progressive income tax wouldn't be right. It would mean the rich have to pay their fare share.

This flat income tax is by nature regressive. Those with lower incomes pay a larger portion on their "usable" income than the wealthy. For example at 1.5% a $75 tax for a person making $5,000/year is a lot more painful than $2,200 for a person making $1,000,000/year. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
