A 65% marginal tax rate for middle-income people will encourage them to work less. Raising marginal rates on the "rich" encourages the lower-income spouse, more often the wife, to stay home. In general, liberals want women to be doing paid work, not staying home taking care of their families, but the tax code they favor encourages the opposite.

Proving once again that the tax code is too complicated for Tax Accountants, but not so complicated that the average Joe would get the same treatment as the Treasury Secretary, who gets a bye!!

The more they squeeze us the more favorable it is for us to tell them to go to Hell. I think we have reached that point.

“They’re less likely to spend the extra cash ...”
What the Dems ignore is that the primary reason we are in this recession to begin with is that the “rich” people who own the stocks and the homes took a big hit when the value of those assets fell, and now have in fact tightened up the purse strings as a result. They aren’t going to start spending again until something gives, and Obama apparently won’t let that happen.

Starve the beast. Work less, pay less taxes.
Now is the time to become ‘undocmumented’ ... trade or barter for goods and services. I see a black market forming (or expanding rather).

The problem is how is one supposed to know that they are in danger of triggering some tax threshold that would make it unprofitable to work that extra overtime?
Middle class people need to keep a tax accountant on retainer year round just to make sure they don’t shoot themselves in the foot because of these silly tax parameters.
Flat tax now!

Exactly! I don’t work outside of the house b/c of the tax code...I’d basically be working and then handing over my money to the government...no thanks! And the so called feminists are no where to be found....
