You have my up vote, it's sad because I'm motivated to earn less because if I earn more I don't take home much more. I just pay way more taxes. It would be better for me to earn less than 30,000, but I would obviously like to be in that higher bracket of over 60,000. It would be nice to have some economic incentives, instead of incentives to work less. If I make too much in a month, like I said I only take home about $400 more, but I pay way more of my check to the government.
