So sick and tired of this myth, how are Americans so goddamn ignorant of their own tax system that this continues to persist.

Corporations are evil for a million and one reasons. This isn't one of them.

I know people who still repeat the line that earning more money will push them into a higher tax bracket and they’d end up with less money than if they stayed at their current income.

Oh man don't even get me started on that one too. I knew some people that genuinely thought a bonus would make them earn less overall.

If i was a manager and someone turned down a raise/bonus because "tax" reasons, i would seriously evaluate my own managerial skills....

Like, how did i not notice this person is a complete moron and why did i offer them a raise?
