The rich pay, the poor suffer.

Political parties in the USA are debating the issue whether rich people, those who earn more than $250,000 a year, should pay more in taxes. N. Gregory Mankiw, a republican, considered what he would do if he had to pay more. And the answer is clear: he can afford to work less, so why wouldn't he do that? Therefore the conclusion is that the poor would bear the financial problems of this ‘solution’.  (The New York Times)
