He had to become one, without healthcare or any other benefits, because he had no choice due to the recession. But I guess it's his fault that his previous employer hit the skids.

Using the common definition of "work full-time", Americans who don't work include children, housewives, househusbands, and retired people. We do have more two income households than we had in the past. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

It's a non sequitur. I haven't seen the math. But I have seen actual examples where one person can pay a higher tax rate with increased income, while another person pays a lower tax rate with increased income. There are multiple variables involved. As an example. Let's say you are only able to afford food and medicine and those aren't taxed. You pay zero. You get a nice raise and buy yourself a car and pay tax on it. Then you have an even nicer raise and invest it in tax free securities. Your tax rate went up and then down as your income increased. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison
