This system just sucks. I am looking over my taxes, income, savings plan and realizing that I pay 34 percent taxes. This fucking blows. It is a little bit complicated, so let me explain. I have regular wages, which the state and feds happily take 22% of; and then I have my tips which are all taken as a deduction. The total of my claimed tips are used as a deduction from my over all pay. This is a horrible and terrible system that is trying to eat me heart, mind, and soul.
What's more my boss wants all of us to claim more of our tips, of which, for the record, there are none, so that she can cut us all smaller and smaller checks. This would all be fine and dandy, but, despite the new free spending administration, I have yet to see my tax dollars hard at work. And, since she already owns four businesses, three houses, and eight cars, I am less than inclined to create a false income so that she can continue to stimulate her economy.
