because here in Calif., that was one of the problems that was causing our budget crisis - overtaxing the rich was making them leave the state and then there wasn't going to be enough taxes to pay for all those services and cover for all the poor people who weren't paying into the system. I know what it's like to be poor and on welfare - we were for quite a few years after leaving TF. We actually did ok, receiving aid, going to school and getting gov't grants, but I was happier when we got off that and were supporting ourselves. We never paid taxes and sometimes got money back. Also, when we did start working, the less we made, the better it was for us as far as taxes go.
