This is going to cause high earners to think about life, choices, and the future - with bad results for Obama. They are going to start to realize that time off is worth more than the incremental pittance in income they can obtain by working more than the 'penalty point'.

Until a year or so ago, I worked only 60% time at my job and found life to be so much easier, 3 days a week. Sometimes I took both Mondays and Fridays off and only worked the middle stretch. It turned out that the corresponding drop in salary (you'd guess 40%) really wasn't proportional to what I'd stopped working. In fact, I was really getting paid appreciably less for the two extra days I worked because of taxes.....so my paycheck was nearer to 70% of full time instead of 60%......with Obama and his plans, people are going to start thinking a lot more about alternatives like this.
