Today, I was reviewing my first post Fiscal Cliff paycheck, complaining to the lovely wife that my net pay was lower due to the payroll tax holiday expiring.
The kiddo was getting bored with my explanation, because it didn't involve Zombies or Superheroes, and asked for a quick summary.
Offspring: Daddy, what are you taking about?
Paracynic: Daddy got less money in his pay this week.
O: Did you do less work?
P: Nope.
O: then why did you get less money?
P: The government took more of it this week.
O (shaking tiny fist): Curse you, Government!
You amusing tax payers.
