Should I negotiate a lower salary to be placed in a lower tax bracket?

I'm about to start the negotiation process for a new position. I expect the offer to be in the area of $72,000 - 76,000 / year. If the offer is higher than $73,800 should I negotiate to have my starting salary slightly decreased so that I pay 15% income tax vs. 25%? I'll be filing married-joint.
