Will Atlas Shrug?

Shocking-

I’m not sure exactly how the AMT fits into this (does anyone really understand the AMT?), but figure the top marginal tax rates for residents of NYC, DC, California, and similar high tax areas will be 60% or higher. Yikes!

If that happens we’ll all want to join this guy because if we’re going to be poor anyway, we might as well relax.   It certainly brings Isaiah 59:14 to mind.

    Now this is REAL motivation to go out there and make something of yourself. To make money, to better your position, to have the income to invest, build, give… yup… make is so they can take it…..

    Perhaps it is true that democracies only last as long as it takes for people to learn they can vote themselves benefits. Where can we go but down when our own leaders are encouraging such behavior?
