Wall Street Journal reports on 102% income tax rate

income = (salary + bonus - taxes) / year
A bonus can be used to be part of an employees' expected/planned annual benefit, especially when this bonus is a 'regular occurrence'.

Wall Street Journal Article

Listen to the Podcast on This

According to Michael Medved, if the top 2% (as proposed by Pres. Obama) would pay 100% income tax, it would still not pay for all the new spending this year.

So what happens when the "Rich" is taxed more? They can donate/spend/invest less.

This is really bad for job creating entrepreneurs!
