I'm making pretty well right now. In fact, I'm making more now than I ever have in my entire life. I went back to school, and spent my own money in order to get more education and training. Why did I do this? To make more money, of course. I want to be wealthy one day, and it's a dream of mine that I strive to achieve. But how can I ever hope to get there if they start taking at least half of what I earn? What's the point in make $30 an hour if I'm only bringing home $15 an hour? At some point, the law of diminishing returns simply makes the added headache and responsibilities at work not worth the effort.
