      No, income is. Imagine a student doing a job that earns him €2000 a month. How many hours will this take? This will be nearly a full time job. Is this person still a student then?

        Looks like you have no clue about living costs and every take you make is a different argument, lol.

          I know about our living costs here.

          And no, it is still the same argument. One person should only work a limited time in order to study and finish university. So it makes sense to put a certain ceiling to the amount spent on working.

          The other person is a highly skilled engineer who has nothing to do besides the job, and limiting this person to the lower amount tax bracket would limit him to 15 to 20 hours a month.
