It's always talked about in the media as if everyone cares, but I don't think I've ever heard a normal person complain.

My experience is every person in the US who enters the workforce and gets their first paycheck is always surprised. Since here in the us salary is given in pretax dollars, you never get the amount you'd expect for your first one.

Otherwise, some complain scout sales tax in the us for a similar reason, especially going from a state with none to a state with a high rate
