I mean, that’s essentially what our taxes are. Things vary based on tax brackets, state, dependents/spouses, and total earnings of course, but we all have a base tax.

The hard part of taxes is usually deductions, or when you start having things like investments or small businesses.

I guess that was some sort of short-circuit on my part?

No, you’re right that it’s extremely complicated. But the complexity doesn’t come from the base rates. You’re likely thinking of the process as a whole instead of the starting point.
