EDIT: If you guys think your income is taxed fully at the higher bracket level if you "go up a bracket" you really need to check out how taxes work. Here's a good explanation:
People don't want to make more money because of tax brackets???
Skywise, if you are, say 100$ over a bracket, you are ONLY taxed slightly higher on only that 100$.
Never worry about making more money. You've been duped, likely by a shitty boss that convinced you that the government was taking all your overtime or something.
Not sure how/why we're being downvoted here... do people really think once they enter a bracket they're then taxed at that rate for all of their earnings? Sad!
note that ALL these $600 stimulus checks are TAXABLE AS INCOME and many people will be pushed up a few brackets by taking them
$600 isn't going to get you "pushed up a few brackets" even if you took it for weeks on end. The gap between brackets is too large.
I also posted an explanation above as to how tax brackets operate at levels, not a sum total of your income. Going "up a bracket" only affects the money above that bracket limit.
EDIT: Dude, if you're going to ask a question and then edit your comment at least be forthright about it. Bottom kek.
Brackets don't work like that.

Aside from some fringe cases applying for benefits or something there's no reason at all to be afraid of being in a "higher bracket".
This.
Come on, man!

Good news, right!
The level to which public schooling failed people blows my fucking mind, man.

Because you two are going off on a tangent and arguing against a strawman.
Wait so having a higher amount of income doesn’t effect a person’s tax bracket? Hmm
The portion above the bracket limit is taxed at the higher amount. The portion below the bracket limit is taxed at the lower amount.
In other words, if someone gets an extra $600, $500 of which is "above their bracket", only that $500 is taxed at the higher bracket amount.
...so why the downvotes?
He didn’t make the claim that you’re arguing against, that’s why the downvotes.
