Shhhh.... Don't tell the Dotard.  He thinks he just pulled off an amazing deal....

Yeah, the dotard who conducted the greatest comeback in political history---despite the full force of the US government, media and majority of leftist global powers against him.  I understand why leftists don't like Trump, disagree with him or even hate him.  But I'll never understand how they think he's stupid.  

Here’s a hint.  It’s easier to win or succeed at any venture when you cheat.  

Cheat at what exactly?

Recently took a big career jump. Pay went up by 25,000/year. 

Was so excited. Then I got my first paycheck. Was the same as before. All due to my new friend, Mr. New tax bracket. So I’m genuinely happy for anyone and everyone (including wealthy people) who get a tax break. The bracket system needs to disappear. 

. 

The U.S. used a graduated/progressive tax system and what you are describing, getting a 25k raise but your net pay remains the same, can’t happen unless one of the  following occurred. 

1. Your employer is doing its withholdings incorrectly. 

2. You increased some sort of deduction (maxing out a 401k example.)


I guess the other option is you actually don’t understand how a graduated/progressive tax system works and just made up the story. 

I recall being given that same BS about "I got paid more but took home less because of my new tax bracket" by dumbass shift or store managers at at least one shitty ass job I worked at when I was an adult and probably a young adult, but 1) it never really made sense to me so I looked it up and quickly found out that it wasn't correct true (and that was before the internet), and 2) haven't heard that the OP claims for a very long time.

...It was the quickest way to identify people that didn't make anything close to $ 250k/$200k and had no idea how taxes actually work.

How exactly is that quality tech journalism ?
