idea for a simple taxation system:

your tax rate is: (your income this year's percentage in last year's income distribution) * k

k is a free parameter which is the top marginal tax rate. Let's say it's 50%. Now, if you are in the 90th percentile of income (that is, 90% of people have less income than you) then you pay 45% of your income as tax.
