I was paid today, but it's less than half what I thought it would be. I'm not even sure how that worked out.
Your FICA and your Health Insurance teamed up in a tornado tag match against your State and Federal taxes. Instead of lowering the rates, though, it turned into an out-of-control slobber-knocker, wherein special interest groups stormed the ring, creating a double DQ and a commissioner's decision to turn everyone in the ring into increased taxes.
Hence half your paycheck disappearing. That's how things would work if
I ran the IRS, anyway.
