>10k

Yeah, like when they passed Income Tax in 1913. They got it thru because the bracket started at $20K - which would be something like $600K today. 

They've essentially never really adjusted the brackets all that much but allowed inflation to do their dirty work.

NYCB- Nothing To See Here Again

Thanks for posting. You raise two great points:
1. The structuring bullshit. I dealt with this as a criminal defense lawyer. Classic catch 22. The government has you either way if they want you. My clients had no good options but the mattress. 

2. The 10k limit. The law exists as if 45 years of currency debasement never happened.
