Inode, > 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 think I know where SilentZ is coming from. Maybe one of these days, we can live in a world where socialism actually works in practice. Kind of like Star Trek, where there is no need for money. Tenchusatsu

>> 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. Seriously, are you a lunatic, or do you think we would fall for such garbage? Have you ever seen what an unemployment check looks like? Its a pittance. What fool would be happy with it? Sadly, you've been sucking on the koolaid teat for so long you actually believe this sh*t. And what person who is so close to unemployment would use a accountant to do his taxes? Your arguments are stale and don't hold up to the light of day. Its this crazy thinking that leads to birthers and townhall groupies and Palin devotees. I don't know what it will take to clean up this stinkin't thinkin' but it has to happen........sooner rather than later.
