i dont understand, isnt this graph showing that 2/3 of democrats dont understand how taxes work vs only 1/3 of republicans? wouldnt correct mean that yes, your tax bill goes up?
The options were that your taxes go up by a small amount or substantially. The correct answer is by a small amount since you only pay higher taxes on the one dollar that you're over.
oh i see now. thanks.
Nah, also you're never going to lose out on income by making more money.
Like others said, the only possible exception is if you're getting government assistance and get kicked off programs you're in because you went past the cut off. So, as an example, let's say you're low income and you get vouchers for school. You could make enough money that you're no longer eligible for that benefit but the amount you make over the cut off is less than what the benefit was.
But, that's a specific situation. At no time will your taxes increase more than whatever additional income you're getting. Period.
I've tried to explain that too many times now in my life and I'm not even that old. Just a lot of people are bamboozled by propaganda and lies.
