More Blue State Taxes in Taxorado

[Guylee]

This is especially irritating seeing as it's tax season and I'm acutely aware of how much of my paycheck is already going towards these idiots.

I'm on FMLA right now. I don't expect my company or everyone earning a paycheck to finance my time away from work. That is what insurance is for (Short & Long Term Disability Insurance), and that is my responsibility, not the government's.

This is anti-business and pro big government.

This. If you want this kind of leave (whether you expect to need it or not), pay for it yourself through insurance. My wife had 6 weeks of STD for having our little girl. But we paid for the insurance - it wasn't stolen from someone else by government mandate.

Well, you all are just not behaving the way the "thought police" want you to.
Even a feminist is fed up with their criticism

House Bill 1001, sponsored by Democratic Reps. Faith Winter of Westminster and Matt Gray of Broomfield, would assess a fee of about 0.33 percent on every worker’s paycheck and use the proceeds to create the Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program within the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.

$46 out of every paycheck I get? I think not. Life requires responsibility. If you don't have money for your time off work, that's your own freaking problem. I had to take a few months off last year for surgery and I had money on hand to do so. I didn't get paid by my employer or by anyone else. Why should every one else have to foot the bill? That's $186 a month.

If that's the case, I demand a 10% cost of living raise.

I think you need another zero in your equation. However, even only $4.60 a check is unacceptable.

I think you did your math incorrectly.

I concur, and I suck at math...

Do they also count through the security line?

In small part thanks to one of our own as I recall, perhaps even currently in this thread.

Truth be told, the numbers provide by TSA seem VERY low.

My wife and I are over 55, make pretty good money and without kids so we already take it up the backside on taxes.

They can go fuck themselves with an ebola soaked cactus (stolen from Bert).
