No, 35%. Working people lose about a third of their check. Been a while has it?

anyway, $170 take home x 2 = $340 x4 weeks = $1,360. That'll get you a crap apartment and food. of course at that level the food stamps probably help a little too. It sucks no doubt about it, but it is a living wage.

Times 2? No no no, times one, $680 if you can get 40 hrs every week. But maybe you can grow some veggies seeing how you're living in the park.
