If the total effective tax rate was higher for higher earners and lower for lower earners we could collect the same total tax and leave more money in the hands of people with less. This is only one way to achieve making work pay more, of course.
If we did that, GP might be willing to work since the effective pay rate would be higher.
- Zpalmtree 4y agoNah, they'd find someone else to blame for their problems
- Relestio 4y agoThat might or not be the case. That doesn't matter in my argument. And I'm not even against your idea. Not working costs you money indirectly and keeps you were you are.
- sleepychu 4y agoOf course it works against it. Yes, there is an opportunity cost to not-work. That cost gets higher as work is better compensated.
