Wage is the key word. Why should I have to pay for some that's to lazy to get a job? Or supposed can't find one.

I was laid off at one time in my life. I was on unemployment (something I paid into) for about a month and a half. I took a job making less than I was drawing because it didn't feel right getting money that I wasn't working for.

Do away with income tax and go to a flat tax. That way under the table workers will pay just like me.
