Yes, only inverted socialism, where the ordinary earners pay 10% = 5% state and 5% local while high earners currently pay 5%= 5% state and just a small percent local.

Clarify: we currently have inverted socialism.. High earners pay less. Q1 evens it up a bit

But I have to admit I have no idea what a rebate would look like with Q1 in place. Would the high earners get a higher rebate? Seems only fair they should. So I don't know

The rebate is a flat percentage of total tax liability. So the high earners would get more absolute dollars but the same percentage refund.
