    They wouldn’t want to make more money because that would mean they’d have to pay a higher tax rate. Don’t try to explain how tax brackets actually work because you’ll just make them angry for highlighting their ignorance.

      I remember having to explain to someone how overtime worked, he was convinced that any overtime was completely taxed away so there was no point. Taxes are hard.
