I'm no way "rich" and never will be, but I do have a problem with the
"The more you make, the higher percent you pay [in tax's] "
I've proven that to myself in former employment, when I was
considerably younger and had a wife and baby to support. I used to work
about as much overtime I could because I had the attitude that "every
little bit helps". That is...untill I got my pay stubs calculated and
saw how much I was paying Uncle Sam for the honor of busting my can!
i always thought that the older guys were a bunch of loafs, but
realized that the.y were telling the truth when they wouldn't work any
overtime, because they felt like it actually cost them financially. I
had to eventually agree.
I do have a reletive that makes good bread... about $36,000 a month. He
owns several endevors. and has worked very hard to get where he is.
Last year he payed over $168,000 in personal tax's, and of course he's
****ed, because he feels like there's no incentive to gain.
Those who wish, can flame me all they want, but
I tend to agree with my cousin.
