It's like overtime or holiday pay..... the money I make there gets taxed more and I barely see any difference. I have to work at least 13 hours overtime to see a true difference (enough to fill my tank and give me an extra case of soda or pack of cigarettes). The state, city, FICA and so on take more, almost the entirety of the OT or holiday pay. They will do the same to your "stimulus" money.
Nowhere does it say that money will not be taxed, it will, and if it puts you into a new bracket where a greater percentage is to come out, it will cost you money.

I dont think you got what he was saying. Only the money that goes above that bracket is taxed at a higher rate. It is impossible for someone to make more money and take less of it home because they went above a certain bracket. Using your numbers, the person will pay the lower bracket of taxes on 29,999 and the higher only whatever amount went over 29,999.
