I got my first paycheck yesterday. It was for 832 dollars. Then i look at the rest of the stub and i lost 250.02 to taxes. Thats 30% of what some teenage earned in 2 weeks went to the government. So for every dollar i earn, i basically throw away 30 cents of it.

That 30 cents is not thrown away, it is your contribution to the upkeep of the schools you attended, the roads you drive on, the police and firefighters who protect you, the military who defend your rights…
