Across the state in the 7th District (Philadelphia's western end), Mary Hurtig is angry. A former first-grade teacher in New York City, Hurtig, 34, divides her time among her family (she and her husband, a physician, have two small children), modern dance and reform politics.

...Many small businesses have closed because their owners could not afford to make money. Pop Singer Lill Lindfors and three other vocalists decided not to collect $108,000 in royalties from their recording company; they would have had to pay more than that total in taxes. Lennart Kjelson, a physician, wearily declared he would continue a part-time job at a school only if they ceased to pay him.
