Final-Fan: Nice link. I can see a few differences to the system over here.

"So you never go up to the next bracket and all of a sudden make LESS money after taxes from the base system. Maybe they become ineligible for some exemptions or something."

Just a thought - could it be due to different rules for the state tax?

Not sure.  All I know is that anybody REALLY rich often gives a lot of money to charities they don't even care about for the tax breaks.

The one thing that's fun isn't the state tax.  It's the City Tax... where if you work in a different city you get charged twice.

Over here it's based on your residence I think. What if you have two jobs in different cities and live in a third city?

It also rewards the government when people do long commutes. Mmmm.
