if the government does end up taking nearly 40% of the income from my side hustle like they do with my regular job, i'm completely goddamn done with consulting. It's already bad enough that they do it with my bonus, but at least that's more or less passive and didn't really require extra work. But with consulting, I busted my fucking ass off buried in Excel working nights and weekends on top of my regular 9-5 to make that extra cash. If more than a third of that is just gonna go towards funding fucking Raytheon or whatever, it's simply not worth it. Especially given that us millenials are probably never gonna actually get our Social Security money - with the freaks running our government now, I don't see that lasting the 40+ years needed for me to get mine.
It just makes me so fucking angry that all of us who have to work for our money pay out the ass, while the rich bastards who don't even fucking work for their money somehow pay less than we do.
