Tax Bracket Blues

According to the IRS, Jon and I earned "too much" to qualify for the EIC, even with two kids.  I thought it would be great, both of us working full-time and earning enough dough to get by.  Then we got hit with a garnishment from the NICU bill we racked up when Daltrey was born.  It sure doesn't feel like we make as much as we make.  Hell, 25% of Jon's check is gone before he even gets it.  And of course, we didn't pay in enough to the feds to get a decent refund.  Dammit.  Mo' money, mo' problems....Biggie, Puffy and Mase said it best, and that's today's song.
