Personally, I started working when I was 12, and worked continuously (even while in college on the GI Bill) until the day Bush I went back on his “No New Taxes” pledge.
My Tax bill went way down.

My worthless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money) quit work in 1981 declaring that “I’m not gonna pay taxes to Reagan!” He hasn’t hit a lick since. And he was only 35 years old at the time.
