if you’re making more than $100,000 and certainly if you’re making more than $200,000 or $250,000, you’re doing pretty well.”

So I'm gonna punish you for it!


Exactly. Tax rates are so high on a second income (when the first one is a reasonably good one) that I'm chosing not to work. Why do so when when over 50% of my paycheck get redistributed elsewhere? It's not hardly worth it. (As a side note, very very few of the people I explain this to seem to understand the simple math. It's either denial or our education system at work.)

Me too. I have a degree in PT that I probably will never use again b/c it makes no sense tax wise....I have no desire to work so the federal government can take it and do a piss poor job of redistributing it.

Here's a question: where are the "feminists"? Women staying out of the work force b/c of social engineering via the tax code...seems like something they should be complaining about. What? Oh yeah they're liberals aka hypocrites whose entire agenda is nothing but abortion (which of course hurts more woman than it helps).
