Just a bit of a rant here. I got a new job and have been working 6 days a week at just under 40 hours (so the company avoids providing me any benefits). Tell me why approximately $120/week in taxes is being taken out of my paycheck. That’s nearly $500/month in taxes being taken out while I already live paycheck to paycheck. And I live in an infamously “low tax” state where the infrastructure and public utilities lie in complete shambles. The amount of my (and other Americans) money going straight into politicians pockets and corporate handouts is absolutely pathetic. Maybe this doesn’t seem like a lot to some, but it is for me.
