If taxes are high enough, they will disincentivize work.

I'm on disability, and if I make over $1000 a month, anything over $1000 gets taxed at 75%.

Do you think I work enough to make over $1000 a month? Do you think I'd scrub toilets for $20 per hour and take home only $5?

Hint: after $1000, I either get paid cash or don't work
