Capping the PFD means poor people pay more tax.  That's unacceptable.  Things like this make me regret not filing for disability.  I always figured that as long as I could do *some* work, I'll keep on trying.  Unfortunately, the system isn't set up that way.  :'(  If the PFD gets capped, I may have no choice but to apply for public assistance (ack, gag, spit, spit, spit!) unless marketing costs go down and I can actually get enough computer work to sustain us (in which case, I have no problem paying taxes on that income).

If I'm not making any sense, it's because I'm exhausted from having to move -- the landlord of our place where we have lived for 18 years has been foreclosed and we're now paying 40% more for 40% less living space.  

Already feeling the crunch!  Are the legislators having to pay 40% more for 40% less?  I seriously doubt it.  Are they going to pay a tax of 30% of their annual income when they cap the PFD?  I seriously doubt it.  We need to cap their income, I say!
