That's what is taking the motivation away in America, it just doesn't pay to do what's right and work hard anymore!
Is that "Fair"?
But who realy gets the shaft is the middle to "upper middle", they have all the higher Taxes with none of the lower or higher income level breaks!
Too "Rich" to get student loans for your kids, AFDC, Section 8 and Food Stamps, but too poor to BUY yourself a tax shelter, we are the middle and we are screwed, just "pulling the wagon" for the bottom and the top!
IMHO.....

Are you saying that it is worth droping out of high school and being a bum, just to save a few pennies on taxes. Of course not. People are still motivated to make work hard and make money, because they will still make a lot more money by doing so, even if they get taxed more.
I feel that the "poor" people shouldnt be taxed at all, look at the #'s above. The amount of taxes they pay, doesnt make that big of a difference to the government, but it sure would make one hell of a difference to them.
They could tax me (upper middle class) more, because I know that my parents and I wouldnt be affected that much by it.
I dunno, just my opinions.
