You do have a good point GTOken. Going into another tax bracket I think does deter people from making more.
And this is the dirty little secret of the Democrat Party. They advertise as being the party for poor people, and if they can keep you poor they will always have a captive audience. Government programs to help out the lower or no-income sector only serves to keep them there because that is their base and that is their key to staying in power.
