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.
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.

So you’re saying there’s a chance
Of course changing your income can have unintended consequences, suggesting otherwise is untrue
And there’s your straw man
I only edited my comment to change it from being facetious to literal because you seem to be confused about details. The message was exactly the same
