    Hondo does the guy's taxes

    More likely, the ex-wife got the past due child support.

    Or extra into retirement. Or both. Either way, top tax rate is 37%, plus 1 something percent for Medicare. 10% for State or whatever. Still under 50%.

    Guy I know just got a bonus check for 100k in Cali. His check after taxes was 41,300.00 The government's shouldn't get more than the worker. Ever.

    Either an apocryphal tale or there’s a piece of information missing.
    Oh and how do you figure that?

    37% federal, 13% state, 1.45% Medicare , 1% disability, 6.2% social security.

    58.65%

    That's fucking Kalifornia and the feds.

    Feds witholding is 22% on bonuses upto a million bucks regardless of your tax bracket. No way the govt is withholding 59% on a bonus. Clearly additional missing information on that story or it’s just pure bullshit.

    Now I know you just completely made that story up. You just outed yourself dumbfuck.

    To be in the 37% tax bracket, your income has to be over $400k. And social security ends under $130k.

    But remember, sledog is not known as a liar.
