I look at it like this, the more you make the higher percentage you
are taxed, which I think gives less of an incintive to suceed. What's
the point of working harder if you are going to enjoy less of the
financial benefits.



I never made a "big" income throughout my working career. In fact, in the
later years when I had a company, some of the employees made more than I
did. They were also always paid without fail .... I wasn't.

I agree that if you take away the incentives to work harder, better or
whatever you start, in some, to affect the desire to succeed. I also
think, as a general rule, people with more disposable income tend to be
more generous in giving in terms of donations, etc. Not because they are
better people, it's simply because they can.

That' been my experience anyway.
