Contemptible. It shouldn’t even be legal to operate a program like that (although even with each individual program phasing out in an apparently-reasonable way, it’s still possible for the overall effect to be unacceptable).
It's one more step than today. And one more step than with property taxes. If today's scheme isn't illegal, I don't see why this should be.
I suspect the real problem here is the challenge with the access to income data: without it, it's really hard to do graduated discounts effectively.
While it's far from perfect, this is still much better than the current scheme, at least in my bopinion.
