<<Here is an idea for you. Lets incendivize citizens to work harder and make more money. Instead of punishing those who work harder and earn more income by raising the tax rate. Maybe the tax rate should go DOWN one percent for every additional 50,000 dollars in Earned Income? >.

That is such simplistic bullshit. You think everyone fighting to make money is what determines a great society? Then how do you explain the Danes who have sky high tax rates and a large bountiful middle class, and very happy society, free eduction and universal health care.

You have no idea what motivates people, or the right ingredients for a successful society. A good society needs teachers, poets, and a whole array of people who do not see money as the measure of ones success.

My kids are a perfect example. My son in law is a pretty renowned chemist who chose being a research scientist over working for a corporation where he could make 3 times the money. My daughter is a lawyer who stays home to raise and educate the kids. Those kids when grown will be much more valuable to society than some dumb rich dude who ignored their kids education of achieving self actualization.

Do you have any idea how ignorant Romney is??
