Hey, Amtrak? I want my US$2.23 back.
npr:
An itemized list of where a typical earner’s taxes go would include $625.51 for Medicare, $229.17 for combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, and $28.09 for NASA. See a receipt of other things that made the list.
I just got my first full 2 week paycheck yesterday and was like, “uhh, esscuse me what?” (I was a fulltime student>A/ part time art gallery henchman for a long time so this is the first time I am on a living salary). This helps break it dowwwnn.
