IIf the after-tax money is more you are a foll to turn down the promotion and raise,all else b eing equal.
Buyt if the taxes aaaaaaaactually decrease your net pay from the previous level then you are wise to refuse the raise.
You won't sacrifice for what is right?
You support profits regardless of consequences?
Profits over principle?
How's that worked out for the U.S.?
I personally would turn down more money if it meant supporting corrupt government with more and more cash.
