I know what you mean. I got a bonus at work this morning. They give you the gross amount and then I get the check. It’s then when I get upset about the the taxes taken from the bonus and the crap that it’s being spent on.
I think think of my parents and grandparents and know that I’d be letting them down, as well as my spouse and daughter, if I wasn’t working hard.
My biggest concern is that the lower middle class is getting swallowed and the middle class is next. I feel like many of us are working awfully hard without a lot to show for it these days.

I hear you on that one. Our company used to offer small awards--$50--for performance above and beyond and all that. I got one of those awards in the form of a $50 gift card.
Well, the next pay period, I noticed my paycheck was short by $23. After asking around, I discovered that they had deducted the taxes on the $50 "bonus" from my paycheck. Next time someone nominated me for one of those awards, I told them thanks, but no thanks. Why bother?
