And I'd be happy if they'd take just 15% from me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, just wait, P-C. You will be amazed at how much they take out once you actually start making bigger bucks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Crappity!

Right now, at what I make, between federal taxes, social security, medicare and state taxes I get to take home 72% of what I make, P-C. And I'm definitely not in even an upper-middle class tax bracket.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Which, actually, less than I pay... I agree with Laura above and would totally be in favor of a flat tax. Just X% and that's what they get. I would be far less grouchy about it that way.
ION, I called my pharmacy for a refill that needed a doctor's approval today. Talked to the pharmacist making sure they were faxing it soon. They said they were. Waited two hours, called my doctor's office to make sure that they had received the fax. They said they did. Called my doctor's office again two hours later to see if the fax had been signed and returned. It had. Called the pharmacy again to make sure that they had both received the fax and actually filled it. It's ready! And yet? Still easier than the last two times.

I'm bored, y'all. Entertain me for the few minutes I have left here. Pretty please??

Okay, at first I read that as they took away 72%, and my mind was boggling. But still, crappity. Down with government! Up with me!

35% comes out of my paycheck... Well a little more than that because I have a few things set up for pre-tax. Thirty-five...
I am hoping to decrease that after the end of the year with some creative (but legal) accounting.

Sail is me. But, add in 401K and health insurance contributions, and I take home about 55% of my pay.
