I've never had adequately explained to me how everyone gets an "income", when we're still paying income tax. Doesn't add up. The best one can say is that for earners, their first X dollars are untaxed, but that their marginal rates obviously must increase at some point. And if I make enough money that my taxes are supporting an indigent person's government income, then can I be said to have one, as well? The math doesn't add up to me, when the fungibility of money is considered.
