Somewhere between 2000 and 2005, a customer I worked closely with, when I was at Staples, casually asked me if I was happy working there and satisfied with my wages. I kinda went Ehhhhhhh, with a little frown.
He worked for Pratt and Whitney in Berwick ME and said they were hiring and paid well, but I worked have to pay ME income taxes, and he thought they would grab at least a portion of my wife's wages as well. I didn't pursue it.
