When California Taxes Hit Hard

Scenario

It's payday, and you're feeling great until you check your pay stub. The excitement quickly turns into shock when you see the tax deduction is more than you calculated!

Visual Setup

Character 1 (you) in a celebratory pose, holding a paycheck with a huge grin before glancing at a pay stub.
Character 2 (taxes) depicted as a giant anvil or looming figure, looming ominously over the pay stub.
Text positioning: Top text saying 'When you think it's payday...', bottom text saying 'But California got you ALWAYS!'
