    I think this is at least partially the result of intentional propaganda. It benefits the elite greatly if a lot of Americans are screaming against higher top tax rates due to this faulty logic. There are also a lot of anecdotes of people not accepting higher paying job offers or promotions within their company, which also benefits the business owners.

      Honestly, if I offered someone a job and their reasoning for turning it down was that they didn’t want to pay more taxes on their higher salary, I would see it as dodging a bullet.
