I thought the phrasing "Going Galt" was actually in the book. It was coined by Ayn Rand. WTF? Not that I like Ayn Rand, but even total tools deserve proper attribution.

Ed, yes, although it's not even 4%, since we're talking about the marginal rate, and not total income. Your main point still stands.

Ed, despite the fact that I think marriage is a relic of a patriarchal system that perpetuates all manner of exploitation, both in and out of the home, I just have to ask: Will you marry me?

See, that's the kind of delusional reasoning that makes this debate fruitless.

The top marginal bracket was 35%. Now it's 39.6%. So what you mean is, Bush wanted to take 4% less of your money. Stop phrasing it like your taxes were zero and now they're 50%. Which is to say, stop being an idiot.

Amy Alkon's Right Nut: No… no health benefits except from what you reap out of the antibiotic elements of the cheese between the gray bush and dingleberries. I find the salary more than covers any adverse health effects that I experience. That is of course, until Obama decided that I make too much money and wants to take half of it away.

Sigh. I'll never understand the right-wing.

Get Going Galt already, the rest of us have work to do.

Hmmm… so, Jonathan… I presume the job includes comprehensive health benefits? In addition to a too-low-at-any-price salary?
