The Government sure loves incentive pay

Because the wonderful school I teach in had such a good result with testing scores from last year, we were each presented recently with a nice bonus of 2,000.00 for being the second most improved in the state for Elementary schools with 500 or more students.
I came across the check stub and sighed yet again.
Federal Taxes 500.00
OASDI 124.00
Medicare 29.00
State Taxes 110.00

total deductions: 763.00

I guess this is the "new era of Responsibility". So.... I can choose to focus on what I lost or what I gained. I'll choose the latter for now.

I did think I was being responsible before though.
