A 65% marginal tax rate for middle-income people will encourage them to work less. Raising marginal rates on the "rich" encourages the lower-income spouse, more often the wife, to stay home. In general, liberals want women to be doing paid work, not staying home taking care of their families, but the tax code they favor encourages the opposite.

my stimulus in all of this?
Volcanic anger.

"Volcanic anger."
High blood pressure now and a desire for revenge, served cold.

Proving once again that the tax code is too complicated for Tax Accountants, but not so complicated that the average Joe would get the same treatment as the Treasury Secretary, who gets a bye!!

Just wait until you get past that into the cold fury stage.
The most dangerous ones are the ones that will look at you calmly while in a rage.
These are also known as high income wage earners getting f#$%ed by these new tax policies.

The more they squeeze us the more favorable it is for us to tell them to go to Hell. I think we have reached that point.

“They’re less likely to spend the extra cash ...”
What the Dems ignore is that the primary reason we are in this recession to begin with is that the “rich” people who own the stocks and the homes took a big hit when the value of those assets fell, and now have in fact tightened up the purse strings as a result. They aren’t going to start spending again until something gives, and Obama apparently won’t let that happen.

Starve the beast. Work less, pay less taxes.
Now is the time to become ‘undocmumented’ ... trade or barter for goods and services. I see a black market forming (or expanding rather).

A 65% marginal tax rate for middle-income people will encourage them to work less. Doesn't a socialist society leave only one option anyway?
Pay or wither away and die.

The problem is how is one supposed to know that they are in danger of triggering some tax threshold that would make it unprofitable to work that extra overtime?
Middle class people need to keep a tax accountant on retainer year round just to make sure they don’t shoot themselves in the foot because of these silly tax parameters.
Flat tax now!
