I don't know what upsets me more. Those tax rates or that wage theft is so common that I automatically jump to that as the cause instead of assume higher tax rates.

Edit: I see that part of my problem is assuming she's working more hours. My math involves an assumption of twenty steady hours a week, not fifteen and change.
