When your tax rate goes up,, the higher rate is not charged on all the income,, just the amount in the higher tax bracket.
More is better,,

You're always better off making more. If the additional income takes you into a higher bracket, it doesn't change the amount of tax paid on the original amount - only the amount of the increase that's into the higher bracket is taxed at the higher rate.

As long as the tax rate is below 100%, you're ALWAYS better off with a higher income. Since the maximum rate is only 35%, you'll never have to worry about losing money by making more.
