  If one does OT once a week, for example, the amount of extra tax is
hardly noticed.  Its the one who work OT on a regular basis.
  A co-worker years ago worked all the OT she could get, saying she was
making more money that way.  I told her she was also paying more in taxes.
  I suggested she work OT one week and not the next and compare the taxes
on her pay stub.
  After that she didn't work that much OT.  :)
