UGGGGH!

I lost OVER a THIRD of my paycheck this week to taxes! It's actually boardering on 40%! This is ridiculous! Because of the bonus!

I practically lost my entire regular paycheck to taxes. I got a whole... $18 in compensation for work last week, if you want to look at it that way. Or I lost half the bonus. Whichever. The total paycheck was over tripple what I make in a week, and I don't even get to receive double.

This is - That - I can't believe - Well, I expected, but - GAH!

FAIR TAX! FAIR TAX! FAIR TAX!

NO NO NO NOT THE FAIR TAX! It screws the Middle Class and will create a bigger Federal government agency than the IRS!

Dude.

They took like the same amount from me.

<.<

Stupid IRS.

I'm totally throwing them under the bus.

Can't they... like... make an exception or something?? They love complication... "First time bonus getters tax break" that'd be awesome. ;_;
