I think, sometimes, you run into someone who is so strongly opinionated one way or another, that it's best that I just don't get involved. And somehow, I'm thinking this is one of those times.

Unless one wants to have a lively debate! What's wrong with that?

No...why punish someone for being successful and responsible? Who cares if they really don't "need" the extra $4000...its their money. What gives the government the right to seize any more of their money than they already have?

As I was reading this post, I kept wanting to quote cschin4 and just say "I agree". But I would have had to do that like 10 times already.

Does that mean revenues increase when you lower taxes? Excellent! Then lets decrease the tax rate to 0%.

OK, but of course in the real world there are no absolutes. Most people support the LIMITED role of govt to provide for defense, etc. However, going from a limited govt that allows us to maintain our freedoms to a spending free for all on everything and everything is going to destroy us.

No worries, the spending "free for all" is to keep us from going into a deflationary spiral and is not long-term.

No, it isn't long term because soon the dollar will be worthless as we run out of money or print so much as to make it worthless. I guess we fail to learn lessons from history to our own detriment.
