Maybe you should recheck your math. Last time I checked a $1000 raise shrinks by about 25% for Fed income taxes and 7.65% for Social Security and Medicare. Now you're down to $673.50.
The $1000 savings in lower prices is worth about $1100 here in Chicago when sales tax is taken into account.
Hmmmmm.....$1100 versus $673.50. You want to change your answer?
