Make sure you all are following the tax code correctly. You might be surprised what the actual law is. Read carefully. http://www.whatistaxed.com/

[QUOTE=Denny;38327]Fuck that! I've finally made it only to get my ass handed to me by the government. Fuck that!

Damn, Denny. Sounds like you're doing pretty well if you don't want to pay more money for being in the +250K bracket. Maybe I nned to get some career path advice from you.

[slow99]

I agree with Denny. The Goverment just gambles the Tax Payers money to make money & when they lose. They expect us to pay for their fuckups! Its old.

My grandmother said back in the early 50s all they had to pay was Federal Tax & House Tax. That was it!

Lol, wonder what those rates were.

[davbrucas]

what's wrong with paying your fucking taxes? maybe if all the ballers out there would actually PAY their taxes, instead of finding deduction after deduction and write off after write off, we wouldn't be in such a big fucking hole.....

We are in a big fucking hole because the jackasses in power mismanage our money. My wife and I paid almost $300k in income tax last year. Is that not enough?

[asphaltjunkie]

Wow, guys, did I get under your skin with that one? :-)

I'm like you guys, I get taxes taken outta my check every week and I don't like it much, either.

I just think that the system as a whole is broken, and what was once a good thing has become a fucked up thing. There are too many loopholes for people to use to avoid paying any taxes, especially the rich people. Greed has a firm grasp on a large chunk of our population, and IMHO, it's one of the things that's fucking us over as a whole.

Here's something to think about. We're trillions of dollars in debt, we all know that. But how much smaller would that debt possibly be (given the gov't doesn't waste it all) if EVERYONE paid their taxes like they should, especially the rich people, instead of finding every single loophole to keep from paying?

And I know all your arguments for not wanting to pay, most of you have stated those already, and trust me, I understand them. I'm just trying to bring a different perspective to the situation. No need to crucify me.

Our representatives would spend all of that on new programs and pet projects.

When the Feds show some fiscal discipline I'll be ready to talk about higher taxes (to a point).

If they would pass a FAIR Tax then we wouldn't have to worry about any of that. We also wouldn't have to worry about filing tax forms every year.

[asphaltjunkie]

If they would pass a FAIR Tax then we wouldn't have to worry about any of that. We also wouldn't have to worry about filing tax forms every year.

for example, EVERYONE pays, say, 10% of their paycheck in taxes, every week....make $1000.00 a paycheck, $100.00 if it goes to the feds, no more, no less. Same if you make $1,000,000.00 a year....$100,000.00 of it goes to the feds, no more, no less...

This would make shit a hell of a lot easier.

I want to see some guarantee that if we pay higher taxes the additional amount would be used to reduce the deficit instead of going toward increased spending. That will never happen though. What will happen with increased taxes is the aforementioned additional spending and then we'll be right back in the same spot, with high deficits, and the politicians saying that we need higher taxes. For that reason, i'm staunchly against tax increases. Washington needs to have it's spending reigned in.

[FATHERFORD]

I already pay as much in taxes as my wife makes a year.. I don't need to pay anymore.

[Forever_frost]

I am happy I don't have to deal with this BS. Other than the taxable income of my wife's I'm out of that rat race. We're trillions in debt because the federal government likes opening post offices to put a name on them when they are not needed, have unions with billions in legacy costs and aren't turning a profit and our politicians make bank and are allowed to have assets in the millions while being public servants
