I like the idea of distinguishing income, so that there is something like a concept of 'labour income', with a lower tax rate (as opposed to capital-gains income, pure interest income, benefits, inheritance, stock bonuses, whatever). For the poor, most of their income is labour income, so it's a natural way to ease the tax burden of the poor. Would probably need a maximum upper limit for it also, to prevent abuse of the lowered 'labour income' rate.
