I don’t know, but I remember reading about actors like Reagan purposefully turning down movie roles so as not to go into the highest tax bracket.
In the real world, that means having to work just hard enough, or even quit working, in order not to be penalized for success.
It also means that you can move up positionally but down with the pocketbook. All because of freeloaders.
If rates approach the levels discussed in this post, the freaks in Hollywood and the limousine liberals on the east coast will turn against the dems so quick it’ll make their head spin. They’ll have to rely on campaign contributions from their buddies in ACORN and the SEIU, and will thus be limited to hand-painted campaign signs. UAW and other industrial workers unions make too much money to put up with this nonsense, and we’ll see a return of the Reagan democrats to the fold.
