I believe I can tell you a little story which makes the point.

When I was about 16 I worked for a construction company that built in ground pools. During the summer we could basically work as many hours as we wanted. Quite a few of the workers would work only 45 hours because after that you made more than 300 dollars a week and were taxed at a much higher rate. They figured, why work if uncle sam gets more than half the money.

I've heard a similar story repeated over the years by people unwilling to work allot of overtime.
