They might accept the raise and try to work less hours to keep the total similar. Or it works as an incentive to start finding ways to pay less taxes, out of a notion of fairness.

They're being paid hourly? How many people making six figures are paid hourly, and what kinds of job do they do?

To be clear, I easily understand how a high marginal rate is demoralizing and unfair at the low end. I'm not convinced it's a problem if tax brackets at the high end go to some number above 50%.
