This type of variable income tax increases as the amount to be taxed increases.
"What is a progressive income tax?"...yes indeed to take the $4K level for now. At halftime, Shelly's now $1,600 behind.

The Don (about 1,200 miles)
"What is Russia?"...right to close the gap between her & Mike w/ $6,800. Shelly then begins his hunt for the other one this round starting w/ the $800 "Cin"...he does get it eventually under the $1,600 Mad Men answer at $3,400; Mike has slightly dwindled to $8K & Julie's in first place w/ $11,600. Shelly gambles the 16 bills.
This General's reckless courage at the 1779 night assault that took Stony Point earned him his nickname.
