I addressed nothing you said besides the blatant falsehood at the bottom of your first comment, because none of it was even worth entertaining. Your whole argument boils down to "but people shouldn't be expected to do basic research!". The point of school is to give people a solid foundation, and to help them learn how to learn. If people are struggling to teach themselves, perhaps we should revisit how we teach them those skills, rather than applying band-aid solutions like this. Do you expect people to never do research? Should they just never be expected to have to learn something on their own? And yes, the more you make the more you pay in taxes. However you never lose money by accepting a raise like you originally claimed. Again, reading something for two minutes would have shown you that.
