The analysis shows that that nurse is paying $1,878 more tax than they would have if the thresholds had been changed. That's not more tax just because they went up in income; that is the premium for going into those top tax brackets: $1,878. Now, that registered nurse has tens of thousands of colleagues around the country, all paying $1,878 more because of bracket creep. The teachers, the police officers, the nurses, the nurse aids, the teacher aids that think they support this Government are being fleeced by the inflationary impact of tax bracket creep.
