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.
If you're worried about being "pushed up a few brackets" for $600 weekly checks there's no chance we're talking about itemization or self-employment. Nice try though.
You've still got time to try and deceptively edit your way out!
The implication is at best ambiguous, and the wording "pushed up a few brackets" for potentially 3 months of $600 weekly checks supports a misunderstanding of the tax code; let alone your own erroneous claim and misunderstanding of what constitutes a straw man.

So you’re saying there’s a chance
Of course changing your income can have unintended consequences, suggesting otherwise is untrue
Yeah, the unintended consequence of having more money. For doing nothing.
How risky. Better watch those brackets!
Not everybody deals with a single employer and a standard deduction. The way you describe the tax code is reductive and misleading

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
That's not a straw man. You seem to be confused.
Nobody in the thread claimed changing brackets would mean your whole income is taxed at the new bracket.
You were arguing against a point that was made by literally nobody
Keep conferring with the flowers and consulting with the rain bud
