You know, as opposed to Death and Taxes.
Having received my first full paycheck from my shiny new employer has revealed that I am officially in the next tax bracket. Meaning my tax rate went up. Basically, it's like being penalized for making more money.
Needless to say, I'm madder than a fucking badger. I worked my fingers to the fucking bone for too many years to finally get to the point where I'm making enough money to be any kind of comfortable - and believe me, it ain't nowhere near six-figures - and Uncle Sugar decides that he's gonna stick his fingers that much deeper into my pockets.
Nothing like being ass-raped by someone who claims they do better with what they're taking from you than you can.
I can only imagine what the +$250K/yr. folks feel like.
As a result, I will be adding to my list of New Year's Resolutions the following: I will, in the coming year, say Fuck The Federal Government more than I already do by approximately double the percentage increase in my taxes.
Bastards, the lot of 'em.

Feel free to drop a line. You don't have to keep it clean - God knows, I won't - but keep it above the belt.
