I wish I took home $0.54 out of $1.00!
And even if I did, by the time I pay for the art tax, the Internet tax (Comcast pass through), the gas tax, the hotel tax (should you stay in one), the beer tax, the wine tax, the grocery bag (tax), the vehicle registration fee (tax), the levy for schools (tax), the levy for fire (tax), the levy for police (tax), the levy for libraries (tax), the levy for jails (tax), the stormwater fee (tax), and finally, the property tax, that $0.54 just became $.05...which means I have to save up to buy a pack of bubble gum.
