So now you are better off making 310k than 311k, is that much better? It doesn't matter how you read it you still get that effect.
No at 310k you get $1 dollar at 311k you get $0. But you know like you have 999 more dollars than before. Assuming Post tax income.
These subsidies can be implemented in a way where they taper off instead of imposing a hard cliff.
You make it sound like a problem, but if you can make 311k, I'd say it shouldn't too hard to make 310k instead if that's better for you? Unless some companies have minimum salaries that high?
