I thought about it & said I'd rather have the $1300.
Ever since that day, I don't see the number on the check, I see a % of that number

That's just like the people who won't play Lotto because taxes on a big win will consume about 40-45% of it. So what! That's several free million you didn't have before when you were working swing shift in the 120 degree machine room of a paper mill you stupid schmuck.
What we're we talking about? Oh, taxes. Yes - taxes. Love them.
