"For example, suppose someone on welfare earns an extra $1,000, but loses $500 of their benefits as a result. This amounts to a 50 percent marginal tax rate."

Making more causing you to lose a benefit is NOT a tax. They make it sound like that person is worse off when they actually have more money to spend. Not to mention that person actually supported their family instead of totally living off the government teet.

Once again this plan is not about helping the poor it is about bread and circuses.
