This is slavery! [/quote] 7.50 x 80 = 600 after taxes about 500$ not 240....so she is not working full time at 7.50 and has a child. This is noone elses fault or responsibility. work more, get a better job. [/quote] Yes that is federal taxes around that bracket. But wait there is more! What about social security medicare and medicaid withholdings. That is another 7.5%. Most people also pay a combination of state income taxes and/or state sales taxes. so that is another 10-20% gone depending on what state you live. Every utility/phone/TV bill has some sort of tax or fee that must be paid. depending on where this person lives their property taxes are passed directly on to them. At the end of the day the average person pays around 50% of their wages to taxes in some form or another that is a FACT. And let's be real - I started out in the 80's with a no skill manual labor job where I was paid almost double $7.50 and the dollar was worth more than twice as much due to inflation! So these people are making 1/4 of what you made in the 1980's! These kids are a mess I'll agree - but to be honest they don't stand a hope in hell the united states is an economic wreck! [/quote]
