"Can I get a raise, then? Sir?"

I used to say, ‘I pay my salary too, but thanks.”

"Well, you don't pay enough." Would love to use it haha.

"And I pay yours. That's how the economy works."

"Don't forget my taxes."

“Welfare isn’t taxable income.”

This is actually great. But I don't think they will ever understand this. Most of them are ignorant, sadly.

"And I pay taxes too. So that technically means I pay my salary too." Lol
