    I always wonder if these accounts are Russian or Chinese disinformation campaigns, or if there’s someone in Canada who’s truly this idiotic. It comes across as having mental health issues.

    In any event, neither option really makes me feel better about the world.




  • Ah, gotcha! 100%. I’ve had conversations with people who were convinced that by working a few extra hours or getting a raise would result in them netting an overall lower amount than of they hadn’t - they didnt understand that the new tax bracket only applied to the money they made within that new bracket.

    I see what you’re saying though - the extra money isnt quite as much as it would be of you were in a lower bracket. That $10k raise might only net you $6k instead of $8k.

    For what its worth, I’m all for that - I think the more you make the more you should contribute to society. But that’s an entirely different discussion!
