Bull crap. Just before I got sick and could not work for nearly a year I took in $42,000. When I got sick the total I took in with government support was about $45,000. This is after a very steep pay cut. If that is not incentive to not work I don’t know what is. I made less by not working and earning more. When I looked at the tax money that was stolen from others and given to me I realized how out of whack our system really was. I do my best now to pay as little in taxes that I can. The money is just wasted.
A "higher tax bracket" applies to MARGINAL not TOTAL income; a raise never means less after-tax income, although it may mean you keep a smaller percentage of the amount of your raise than of your pre-raise pay.

That has nothing to do with the original claim about higher tax brackets.
