So, what you are telling me is that if you were offered a promotion that would double your pay, and push you into a higher tax bracket, that you would refuse the promotion, because the higher taxes would be a disincentive?
SC asserts that the rich already pay a disproportionately high percentage of taxes. You tell me that big taxes are a disincentive to work to become rich. Clearly, one of the two is incorrect. |
In some cases that might actually be true.
If the raise just pushed someone into a different bracket they may actually make less money because of the higher taxes. The amount of the raise may not cover the new taxes. This is something you would not have to worry at all with a sales tax.
