| Hey, Mom! I worked more hours this pay period but am essentially earning less per hour after taxes. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Yes, honey. That is how our government works. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So if I work more, the government takes a higher percentage from my paycheck? | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| Yep. They figure if you work more, you can afford to help others more. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So if I work less, I'll earn more? | |
