Gross pay + the 50% share of the payroll tax the company pays + the 50% share of the payroll tax we pretend I pay + benefits + misc. is what your position is worth. Presumably I produce slightly more so the owners of the company can make a profit. That minus what I take home minus what I'd voluntarily pay in taxes is a measure of the oppression I feel. I tell you it is heavy. Going by the gross is totally misleading.

<<only fools thought that they were getting rich on 12% certificates of deposit in the late 70s......>> I had one that paid 21% back then. I also had a home loan @ 7% from the same S&L. They told me I would be money ahead by taking some of the CD money and paying off the loan.
