We get a huge discount on the taxes for being married, though. $11,000 gets deducted from the income just for that.

Does anybody know what the official rationale is for that? This has to bejustified in some way, right? But how can one create a non-religious explanation for it?

For the first time ever, we don’t get a return on the taxes but actually have to pay extra. A lot extra.

I feel an urge to switch political allegiances already. And we are not even actually rich yet. Imagine what the future holds.

Kidding. Let’s all relax, I’m just kidding.

The tax rate is still hugely better than it would have been in Canada.

I’m feeling very self-righteous because I just declared all of the cash payments nobody would have ever known about that I received this year on my tax return.

I’m the kind of immigrant everybody should want, folks.

A student decided it would be a good idea to help me read his homework by inserting translations of “difficult” Spanish words into English. Just in case my Spanish vocabulary is poor.

I love people condescending to me for no reason.
