Stop in for a cup of coffee

I will say this, when I was working with hr to get my tax stuff fixed this morning, started doing so math.

county taxes withheld by the end of the year and the time to pay those= .75 weeks of work just it pay those.
state taxes= 2.25 weeks just to pay those
Federal= 5.5 weeks just to pay those
Medical= 2.25 weeks
Social security= 5.5 weeks to pay those.

16.25 weeks worth of work at my current salary rate goes to just paying payroll taxes. That’s before sales taxes, and any of the other numerous taxes.
