This is exceedingly unclear to me.  You see, person A is taking a
lower paying job at his company so that person's C, D, and E might
also be employed there, also paying $5,000 per year in taxes, and not
consuming welfare and UI.  Thus person A is actually saving the
government the cost of welfare and UI for these three other people.
Hmm.  I think things are a lot more complex than simply how much tax
one pays.
