Lowly citizens like us don't have "income", it's just tax money that hasn't been collected yet.
Seriously though, the democratic solution to every problem seems to be tax tax tax tax. The economy is in a slump? Tax and subsidize! The economy is doing really well? Increase taxes because you can afford it! There is rampant unemployment? Tax and give money to those who aren't even looking for jobs! Ol' Mrs. Landsbury can't afford prescription drugs? Force a $950 billion national health-care system on everyone, paid for with (of course) taxes.
