There is a problem with taxing high-wage earners that is never stated. These people, in general, are smart problem-solvers. You give them dis-incentives and they will withdraw.
This is where I'm at. Up till Jan 2011 I always had a six figure job with all the stress and bs that goes along with it. I finally got tired of all the expenses associated with staying on that rat race treadmill and decide to stay off of it when I was laid off in Jan. I did take unemployment for three months while getting my feet on the ground. Thankfully, I owe just the basics in regards to my living expenses. It is quite easy to live cheap where I live. The wife continues to work as a nurse and will retire from that (after 27 years) in a couple years after the step daughters finish up with college.

Life has never been better than it is right now.
