Enter the Taxman
Listening to: “Taxman by The Beatles”
Well, I posted about my job yesterday, so today’s topic is taxation. I want to start by saying that I understand the purpose of taxes. Without money, our government would be unable to do much of anything. While this may be an improvement in some areas, other things are important (firefighters, policemen… but you know all of this already).
What annoys me are things like this: As a full time student, I am exempt from Social Security and Medicare payments. According to the government, however, I am only a full time student when I am currently enrolled in a full load of classes. So, during the summer, I can not eligible for this break. Unfortunately I earn most of my money during the summer, which helps me get through the semesters at school.
Well, that’s the end of my rant. It’s just painful to see the taxes spike up like that the week after classes get out.
