It's actually more likely that your A and B scenarios are the same. I'd consider a more realistic A scenario to be:
I start earning $200. My welfare decreases by $200. My expenses increase by $100 (transportation to/from work, childcare while at work, clothes specifically for work, etc).
Once you realize that work usually has more costs than just time A and B become the same.

- Fomite 12y agoThere are some scenarios, usually at income thresholds for various benefits, that the B scenario is manifestly true even without expenses - earn another dollar, and you'll lose money.
