Being myself somewhat of an economical idiot... please explain to me why a tax increase puts more money in my pocket and less money in the pocket of big government?

I'm so confused.....

Because 1. the government rasies other taxes (i.e., payroll, excise taxes). 2. Because when the government has to raise taxes because of deficits, it will then raise your taxes out of proportion to the wealthy's taxes (i.e., gasoline tax).

I haven't worked since January of 2001. I refuse to take any money from the government, But I am money ahead if I must pay taxes.

I guess I'm just not as smart as you.

I'm still waiting for my rebate check from the tax increase of the Clinton administration in 1996. I haven't seen a thing yet.

Do you suppose Tom Daschle has it in his pocket ?
