Some will move to entrepreneurship. If you can live with a lower income, you might as well build equity behind the tax curtain and harvest it in better times. That's what entrepreneurs did in the 1970s.

This time, though, there won't be a Ronald Reagan to come riding in and save the day.

Owing to dysgenic fertility & the aging of the baby boomers, circa 2020, the USA as we knew it will cease to exist.

Some will take longer vacations. If your last earned dollar is pinched in the 60%-plus range by the feds, the state and your city, you'll envy the beach bum's life.

As will this ER doc. Screw it, not working nights weekends holidays, GIVING away 30% of my care for free then 60+% of my takehome. You will find me on the beach.

I firmly believe that sometime during McCain’s presidency he will raise taxes especially if he does two terms. He was against the tax cuts before he was for them. Funny how nobody remembers that!

If this occurs, it will be because that’s what a majority of the taxpayers want. I’m astounded that they do, but everything happening now tells me that in addition to higher gas and food prices, people want higher taxes. If it weren’t the case, you’d see a big majority in favor of the Republicans or a big majority going none of the above/third party.

Guaranteed that Obama will do all he can to transfer wealth from “rich privileged Whites” to poor downtrodden “have nots”.

Look back to the 1950’s when the highest marginal tax rate was 90%. The wealthy shipped their money overseas to places like the Cayman Islands and the economy was almost stagnant.

Simple...house is paid for, no debt.....great job with lots of money...plan to reduce my percentage of work time to hit the AGI that is the ‘best’ in terms of tax-bite. Rest of the retirement funds will be moved/converted to where I can get at them quickly.
