P.S. It was hard to decide what topic to put this question in.

okay I was working prevailing wage construction on military housing on oahu. I found myself taxed all the way down to 1100 per week from a high of 1856.00 before taxes. I was stunned by this. i though i could file paperwork with the company to pay the taxes quarterly myself and be able to use the tools i bought for myself as a huge tax write off and therefore be able to mitigate this huge amount being taken out. It really does not pay to make good money they just take it away. Any suggestions on this.
