Most tax consultants I've ever heard of encourage their clients to take advantage of the tax law and tax breaks. I would imagine that a lot of people that make $250k have tax advisors, and it is their job to recommend the best tax strategy for their clients.
It seems like some of the posters here are advocating that people intentionally make poor decisions regarding their tax liability.
Nope, but then they rearrange their affairs to minimize the taxes they owe -- not be taking deductions, but by things like this -- playing salary games (not that I think this story has the slightest shred of veracity) they remind me of teengers who think they "stuck it to the man".
What this actually sounds like is talk radio urban legend.

Hmm -

<Well thanks for letting others know that Obama's $250K theory is indeed a false statement. >
Huh? and How so? My tax burden, (if I could make that much and I can't at this time),
>>I wonder how often these people do the same. How many of you make a decision solely because it will increase your tax liability?<<
How many folks actually make a decision about what their salary will be?
