Years, and years ago, my now a PhD son had a high school summer job working at the movie theater. When he got his first paycheck the deductions hit him.
"who's this FICA dude?" Not kidding that is what he said.
"your Grandpa's social security."
I watched a republican born.
Now my youngest liberal arts major, Socialist (not talking leaning, it is what she is), got a bonus for teaching at a troubled school. She came to the house to use my ipad to deposit her check. She signs it, takes a picture and sends it through an app and it is deposited.
There she is grousing. Bonuses get a bigger hit than normal since there are not other deductions.
"Why with this kind of economy are they taking so much out?" she asks.
I couldn't resist.
"it is because they take so much out that we have this kind of economy."
I'm going to get a TEA party membership form printed for he when she comes to do laundry.
