The Feds take a pretty huge bite out of my paycheck...ouch!
Fed Tax
SS Tax
Medicare Tax
These taxes are taken out of my check right AFTER payroll takes out my 401k retirement and health insurance (I just had my health insurance premiums go up thru roof in the last 5 years *thud* )
But then it doesnt end with my paycheck 'cause I pay 9.25% Tennessee state/Knox County combined sales tax, tags for my car (at $24 plus Knox County is expected to put in an additional "wheel tax" on top of the state tag fee), gas tax, ciggie tax, liquor tax, you name it.
remember this quote always:

In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes
