My employer overpays me so as to compensate for withholding taxes.
Many employers will gladly admit that their employees are overpaid -
maybe yours will too.  Why not ask?

Personally, I enjoy being a slave, so long as I can choose my work,
my home, my hours, my lifestyle ... wait a minute, slaves aren't
supposed to have those things ...
