My taxable income certainly is being raised.

You got a raise, so might pay more taxes, and then say that taxes rates are climbing?

That's a dumb analogy. If my income goes up and I pay more in taxes, I still have more at the end of the day. If my income remains the same but my taxes go up I don't. Not hard at all to understand.
