Therefore, in order to make an extra dollar in the top tax bracket, I have to work harder to make that same dollar than if I were in a lower bracket. Thus, I am making less per hour worked, although my net may be somewhat higher, due to putting in increasingly higher hours. It just isn't worth it to work that much harder to achieve a lower gain than if tax rates were low.I'm looking at cost/benefit analysis of my time vs my net reward. There comes a point where time at home with the fam and relaxation time becomes more important than the cash reward, and higher taxes simply make that break even/tipover point come that much earlier. For me.It's actually quite simple.</blockquote>
