> people will find ways to work less to keep their earnings down
Even if that is true and significant, I don't really find high income people skipping overtime to be major problem?
But I'm curious to read more about the claim that doctors skipping overtime due to high taxes, can you share a link?
Furthermore, the aim can't be to institutionalise overtime through tax cuts (I don't believe it would work either and those would in turn have other effects) but to increase the amount of doctors.
Also to clarify - it isn't about overtime. Previously full time (40 hours a week)doctors have switched to part time (2-3 days a week), to avoid hitting the 60% rate.
That seems much more targeted and specific than the usual right wing talk about taxes causing high income people to work less (which implicitly values that above redistribution). It's also not a result (as in, X% of doctors have cut their working hours) but a plead (we may do this unless!).
