>> I pay income tax on 85% of my SS payments......should I reject all the income that puts me in that category? Any person who works for that money would be more apt to not work if it is going to cause the SS to be more heavily taxed. If a prospective employer offered you $8/hour you might choose not take that offer. If he offered you $80 an hour you would be more inclined to take it. And if he offered you $800 an hour you would be very inclined to take it. If he offered you $8000/hour you WOULD take it. So, the argument that anyone is insensitive to how much money they can put in the bank from working is just a lie. Everyone has his own price point, but the idea that people aren't persuaded by income opportunity, or a lack of it, is nonsense.
