Taxing income beyond a low flat rate is counterproductive. Taxing spending is much more effective and better from a macroeconomic standpoint. That's true on the corporate side if things as well.

When you tax spending you can use your tax rates to promote useful spending (R&D etc) while curtailing less helpful spending on superfluous items.
