Standard Marxist rhetoric maintains that workers will not work as hard as they should since the bosses are skimming the profit off of their work. This sounds very much like the arguement against progressive taxes. Workers will not work hard since the government is skimming off the value of ones work. I would like to propose a theory which is a combination of the two. That is that most people are just lazy greedy b*st*rds that will make up one excuse or another for not having things their way.
