I would run the numbers in a spreadsheet to see how it works out. In fact, give me some numbers in a spreadsheet and I can tweak around with it this weekend and see how the luxury tax would work out. Glad to be of service.

Problem is not everyone will want to have a luxury tax on the highest teams... there needs to be a solution that fixes the problem for all situations including when there isn't a luxury tax (as there hasn't been for most of baseball history)
One of this games greatest assets is its flexibility and a luxury tax shouldn't be forced on your league just as revenue sharing, a salary cap, or even free agency is not forced on your league.
I just think there needs to be a solution that works for all scenarios, not just those who want to have something resembling the current state of baseball.
