Amen raptorduck! The incentive to work hard, be productive and innovative has always been the monetary rewards. Taking away that incentive by more taxation and pursuing socialist redistribution of wealth policies will be extremely detrimental to the future of this country. Infact, doesn’t the Laffer curve demonstrate this, that higher taxes actually result in lower tax revenue due to lower productivity?

If you look at countries like Belgium which have socialist policies you will find very high unemployment and low productivity. People simply will not work that hard or not work at all and collect government assistance, and why would they work? For what incentive?
