And, again, my example was just an example. Lowering taxes on the bottom section is the goal. If you see a better way to do that, cool.

For example, there is a bracket step up (15% to 25%) at just over 50k for HOH filers. That's the median wage in this country, so if Mike's theory is true, you'd expect to hear lots of stories about companies telling employees to take $48k instead of 52k to save in taxes.

But you don't.

Because it doesn't happen.

Are you sure? Again, you have to change your thinking. Don't think Corporate America because it doesn't happen there. I promise you all sorts of things happen in small businesses. All sorts of things.

Do you have even anecdotal evidence that it's happening?

Not that I would be willing to share. I have owned a business. I know people that have owned businesses. I knew my accountant very well. Stuff happens.

I've already proposed something in this thread. It was ignored.

I don't remember seeing it.
