this is what ive got so far and its not very good:

public class Q2Program {
public void start(){

// User types in income to nearest dollar and program
// responds with tax owing, and tax as % of income
// Ignore the under $9,880 rebate
// Assume all income counts for the "under $38,000" rebate
// Show with, and without, student loan owing for the entire year
// Use double arithmetic for calculations, but..
// Display money amounts rounded to nearest dollar
// Make use of the following constants for the tax rates

cumbersome for beginners */
