Not in the scheme I have in mind. Once you've determined that you qualify as a taxpayer, income would be gross income....period. There would be no table at all, simply one percentage value. A fifth-grader could complete the form for you.

It's kind of pointless for us to debate a hypothetical scheme you have in your head. Once I have said scheme in front of me in black and white and I can see what it does for me, then I can comment on it.
