Hmmm. I guess its nice only having to pay taxes on my base pay. My rent money, food money, and cost of living isn't taxed.

same here i know the feeling in CT ur taxed out the ass... It is the Highest taxed state in the country... wierd how as Revolutionaries our forfathers fought against high taxes and the British and now we are the most heavily taxed country in the world who would have figured?

What??? No where close. I get tax wavers in germany that are 26%, and thats for about anything (lumber, mechanic work, bills, tools, food, and so on). The tax form I get for Belgium is close to 33%.

Yeah and it only gets worse when you work overtime. The more overtime you get the higher the tax bracket you get put into and also the more they take. On my last check they took over 500 in taxes. It sucks ass, the more overtime I work the better uncle sam makes out.

i find its best to not even look... i just focus on how much im getting and dont even pay attention to how much is taken

I get over 1500 taken out for taxes each month, not to mention I have mandatory insurance that is 800/month. Life sucks right now....

Ok, Here's some scary sh!t for ya.
I pay out so much every year that I actually get the money from my part time job back.

800/month? i hope there is like NO deductable and that it covers your entire family (including extended :) )

on the other ha nd, insurance for just ME is like $150 with a 1500 deducatable. outrageous.

edit: i'd like to mention that im lucky enough to not have to pay that $150

well I work for a company that the majority of the employees are retired FAA engineers. So the insurance is based on the median age of the company, not individually for the employees. My deductible is 500 bucks, but so far, they have been a good company, just damn expensive
