Taunt: Nope, they rape us in other ways that are OVER TIME so we dont notice :D
Basically say I worked at a job where I didnt make a lot, so thanks to the numbers, and the fact that I want money, I take out only what the govt needs, and they dont need much because im in a low bracket.
Now imagine after 3-4 months of this, where I have a pretty good bit of income...say 8000+, I leave the job for a new one, which is in an entirely different bracket. So when taxes roll around, the income from the first job is lumped in, but relatively speaking the govt goes HAY U IN THIS BRACKET U NOT CHARGED ENUFF FOR MONTHS 1-4 and then I cry and they take from my refund. Thankfully, in my current job I have plenty taken out now that the need for money isnt as dire and im worried about fucking up major in this bracket.

:o fo realz?
Washington has a 6.5% statewide sales tax. As of 31st October 2007, sales tax is not applied on most food items and prescription medications (not including over-the-counter medications). Individual counties, municipalities and regional transit authorities are entitled to collect a sales tax, which vary from 0.7% to 2.4%. In the City of Seattle, and neighboring municipalities in the same county, the King County Food & Beverage tax adds an additional .5% to food and beverages purchased in bars, taverns and restaurants resulting in an effective tax rate of 9.4% (8.9% on all other items).[58] Additionally, the sale or lease of motor vehicles for use on the road incur an additional 0.3% tax, rental of a car for less than 30 days has an additional state/local tax of 8.9%.[58] When renting a car for less than 30 days in Seattle, the total sales tax is 18.6%. When purchasing an automobile, if you trade in a car, the state subtracts the price of the trade when calculating the sales tax to be paid on the automobile. (e.g., purchasing a $40,000 car and trading a $20,000 car, you would be taxed on the difference of $20,000 only, not the full amount of the new vehicle.)

You should get a better Tax consultant then. A financial advisor at school talked to me once about how investing my money can lead to lower taxes. I didn't really get what he was saying but I plan to talk to him again when I graduate.
WA's sales tax isn't as high as CA's. :'(
