ski - you don’t understand the system, and you’re forming opinions based on an incomplete and fundamentally inaccurate perception. If all that’s being taken out of your paycheck is taxes everything above about 8% is income tax withholding which you will get back when you file your tax return, assuming you don’t make much money this year. (If your first paycheck was recent and $800 you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.) You can reduce the amount withheld by talking to your employer (whoever does the books) and increasing your exemptions to reduce the withholding. Unless you earn a fair amount of money you won’t owe any taxes above the 8% FICA tax.

Ski - educate yourself about taxes. Not just ranting blogs, but real information about how employment taxes actually work. It’s information that will be useful to you.
