Why not tax only the poor? The lower your income the higher your tax rate.
Now you have real incentive to to get off your ass and amount to something.
Trying to appease these people is like pissing your pants to keep warm.
It only works as long as you keep pissing.
No Dennis, come now, how do you really feel? You are a man after my own WIC check!
