Reply #89: The same freakin' incentive folks had in the 50s and 60s

[ProudDad]

when that WAS the marginal tax rate!!!

And the country experienced the most prosperity for the most people ever experienced by a country in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!

It was in part BECAUSE of the highly progressive income tax that was redistributed into the best education system, the most extensive infrastructure building program and the most leveled economic advantages ever!


My incentive during the 40+ years I worked in the computer business was my innate curiosity and interest in the work!!! The money NEVER an major incentive for me... I was driven by the love of the work and a desire to help other people...


In a mature, decent society your calculus would be that you'd STILL be getting $.10 out of each buck AFTER EXPENSES and you'd be giving something back to your community with the other $.90...
