Auugghhh! I just got my paycheck and I'm paying nearly 29% income tax. That can't be right! For that sort of money, I want a free national health service and every homeless person in NYC put up in the Ritz Carlton for the night.
I think I got duped at my orientation because they suggested I claim only one exemption on my W-4. I sent in a new one the other day bumping that up to three, but I guess it hasn't taken effect yet. I need cash to move apartment. The government is only going to spend it on bombs. This is SOO unfair.

Welcome to the US, my dear, home of the lil' bastard named FICA.
FICA can kiss my grits says Jaymoo. Consider yourself fortunate you haven't hit my tax bracket...something like 33% yo.
The false advantage of not living in a place like Texas where there's no state income tax. However, to make up for it the sales tax and property taxes are very high. A cute way to make sure the middle class gets stuck with most of the tax burden, so the rich don't have to pay their fair share. Better to pay income tax in NY.
