Rush had a caller yesterday that he described at “shrugging.” The family had decided over cereal that morning that it was time for Dad/husband to stop working so much and let their income fall back to 40hrs. a week.

Back in the 70’s I was a technician for a large Computer company and was receiving, for that period, a good wage. My wife was a waitress at a small restaurant in a department store, making at the most about 3-4K a year WITH tips. Total income was about 21K.

We had no children, claimed 0 dependents and, at the end of the year we had to pay up to the state and feds $400-600 at tax time.

I refused overtime as much as I could because it exasperated the situation even worse while most of the OT pay was erased from the weekly check due to the with-draw tables at that time.

Basically, guess I'm trying to say is; Deja Vu!

Smart. Why work oneself into a higher income bracket whereas the government takes your profits or sacrifice so much to pay for Nancy Pelosi’s and Harry Reid’s evil whims? Sorry I missed that call.
