Hence why I said "taxable income." There should be a basic personal exemption which would render the first $X not taxable.

If you can't understand how a function works, which is like 9th or 10th grade math at most, I don't think there's any workable tax system which will make sense to you. We're not asking people to derive it themselves, we're asking them to hypothetically press a few different buttons on the calculator.

Going to be honest, I was too emotionally hosed up in the latter years of highschool to remember a single thing about functions, but I can still easily figure out how to do basic multiplication and addition in our current system.

Most people don't use functions or log in their daily life and have completely forgotten that poo poo if they ever knew it at all. Just because something is easy for you I wouldn't assume it is for others.
