>>> Punishing success would be taking away over 100% of that income.

Ten, this is what happens when you have kids without vision and who have never seen what happens when you do this -- commenting on it.

I've seen it. Had clients walk in my office and sit down and say, "I'm not doing it anymore. If they're going to hit me with 40 or 50% federal taxes, then another 7% state, then doc me for my Social Security (which used to happen routinely), I'm just not going to do it anymore. I might as well stay home.

We already have a huge number of people saying, "Look, I can get just about as much money sitting home watching Oprah as I can make working. WTF do I need a job for? And they're going to give me health care on top of that? And give me a paycheck for 70 weeks? To hell with looking for a job."

Anyone who is remotely aware of BF Skinner can certainly understand this.
