So the more a person makes, the more they should be taxed. Right? What would you cap it at? 50% 60% 75%?

On a related note; I had an employee, ("Lisa", single mom, 4 kids, all in school) tell me she was quiting. When I asked her why she told me she'd rather stay home and collect about $800 a month from the government than work 40 hours a week and earn $1,200.

Peter, it really bothers me that there are millions of other "Lisa's" out there. I do not want to see anyone  be forced to pay taxes in order to support people who choose not to work. And to ask those who've succeeded in life (i.e. gotten rich) to pay even more is, IMHO, counter productive. This type of system only encourages the "Lisa's" and discourages the top 2% who pay 95% of all the taxes. Why should we work harder, earn more, yet take home less?
