How much do those of you who work full-time usually have taken out of your checks for federal taxes, and do you usually get money back? Those of you who don't make very much, like me, I mean. This is the first full year that I've worked full-time at one job that paid somewhat decently (in comparison to on-campus jobs and shitty restaurant jobs, I mean--I still don't make jack.) I guess my freelance stuff will throw things off a bit, since there's nothing held out of that. But I think I declared two exemptions or whatever you call them, one more than my worksheet told me to, so that more is held out of my check than is probably necessary. I didn't want to end up owing money at the end of the year. It's like ten percent of my check (just feds, that is, not state or Social Security).

I'm tired of having the bastards take all my money. I'm gonna change my name to G. Gordon Motherfucking Liddy and storm Congress in the name of dog-fearing Republicans everywhere.

Or not. Yeah.
