It pays the taxes
The replacement saying for "It pays the bills" in reference to writing off a job as merely a means of income, and in no way an enjoyable or lucrative way of making a living.
Due to the increase in taxes "It pays the taxes" takes the place of "It pays the bills" while it takes a second job or additional income to actually pay the bills.
"It's going ... it pays the taxes. I'm looking for a part-time job now to pay the bills"

I've probably mentioned before that I REALLY dug Samantha Fox back in the day. Hairy muff and all !
