100% implied tax rate - does this make sense?

<p>Lol, that’s my point, too, Bay. A marginal tax rate approaching 80% causes people that could work to have no reason to work, and we are all losing their potential contribution.

<p>As EMM1 said, the rules are the rules, but who makes the rules? Aren’t we the adults now? Who set up such a perverse system?</p>
