If they're making more money AND paying more taxes, where's the trade? What's the point of going to school for 4 years so that you can work at a job that makes you pay for some other losers schooling?

Because the increase in their salary is more than the increase in their taxes.

A progressive tax structure is the best way to implement taxation, at least while there's fewer workers than retirees causing the Social Security deficit looming on the economic horizon.

There's no way around increasing taxes (starting with rescinding all tax cuts the Propagandist has passed) and cutting spending (starting with the Military and a much less aggressive foreign policy) in order to keep us from turning into Argentina.

There is a way around increasing taxes. The liberals love to gut the military, tax the rich, and then claim how fiscally responsible they are, while conservatives have to throw funding back at it as soon as we need it and cut taxes to help out the economy. Any reason why Reagan collected the amount of taxes he did despite massive tax cuts?

sorry, but cutting taxes doesn't in and ov itself help the economy. The latest round were in fact a large hindrence on the economy, and a largly responsible for the wobbly economy of the last several years.

Who is feeding you this crap?

The economy has seen solid growth for almost 36 months, growth nearly as strong as under Clinton. There is nothing wobbly about this recent expansion of the economy.

Inflation is up and that is being dealt with by the fed reserve. This is a common side effect of a 'strong' economy.
