    Of course the fact they call it earned income is nonsensical

    Yes. It's "new speak" from 1984, call it something that doesn't make sense so people won't resist it. It is a negative income tax, meaning if you behave in a way the government wants you to behave, then they will give you money they take from the other people.

    Absolutely!

    Maybe it's time to try a flat tax.
