Not just the useless eaters. A friend is making just under $50k/year. He’s been continuously employed and also served several tours in the 1990s. He’s eligible for military disability, but it is barely enough for two people to live on. If he gets a raise in his civilian job, the higher tax bracket will eat into his take home until he will be making less than he does now.
One hand giveth, and ten others taketh. Some raise...
