Take every dollar your employer decides your ignorant arse should receive.

In simpleton terms, tax rates in the US are marginal, which means you only pay 28% federal taxes on every dollar you make over the $151,200. Making $1 over that limit means you'll owe $.03 more than you did before hand, but you will not be hit with an extra 3% on ALL of the money you made up to that point.

There are some concerns with capital gains and what not, but from an income standpoint there is no reason to turn down a raise for fear of a higher tax bracket.
