It's clearly a flawed system when a person is incentivized to be a tax burden on other taxpayers instead of making more income.

It’s a flawed system when human individuals are treated like “tax burdens”

It seems like exactly the kind of system you get when people are more worried about who to blame for X than they are about how to make X better.

Hmm, but I also pay Georgia income tax. Indeed there are a lot of government programs funded by income tax that I do not take advantage of. I'm not sure if you're trying to make me feel like a tax burden or not, but... I don't feel bad.
