My teenage nephew paid more taxes than him on his part time $9hr job...This is disgraceful!

1. That's what I texted my friend!!!

My son with his part time internship paid more taxes. My son did not find that amusing....

2. This should piss enough people off to get us a few more votes, at least.

3. Unlikely.

The comparison is federal income taxes.

for a 25 hour a week job paying$9/hour, the income taxes owed are $0.

At $9/hour, you'd hit that at around 42 hours per week (not part time)
