    Dangit! I gotta find a way to weasel out of this. Is there any way to get that percentage down some? I guess write offs and such? Have kids maybe? Sorry I'm a bit of a finance newb

      Yup. I write off my home office (I telecommute) a percentage of my utilities, my computers, monitors, charity donations, home interest and taxes, training expenses, etc, etc, etc...

      I was really big on charity in 2010 so I'm going to have some huge deductions there..

      If I can ever get this adoption thing knocked out I will get a $13500 adoption tax credit. That'll pay for about half of my adoption expenses.

          This is an interesting article on the flat tax. I like the sound of it, but I doubt it'll ever happen.




          One thing about our current tax system that seriously pisses me off is that people who pay in zero get money back. WTF?? If we had a flat tax or went to the sales tax only I would think it's more fair. As for the making shit equitable for the poor, I grew up poor & had no help from the govt. Since I managed to scrape out an education, I have gotten to middle class status. Why can't the poor of today do the same?

            Do you guys feel like those percentages are a little to high? I know I do. A shit ton of it is waste. We need to change the way this place is being ran.

              Ohhh...the temptation of correcting your grammar...

              That is what the last election was about. People are tired of the spend happy asshats who are in charge, so they chose the lesser of two evils by electing people who said they'd cut spending, etc.

                Its a good thing you didn't correct his grammar. You'll find that around here, the spelling/grammar nazi idiots aren't tolerated. Not to mention the fact that there is such a thing as 'internet shorthand', so you should probly learn that.

                    The same as who? Paladin? I've already told everyone that I don't even know any cops dude. Its always nice how you pick and choose which posts you read, and which ones you don't, though. Keep that up.

                      Paladin, we've already validated that your ip is the same as photonfanatic's, and Samhain has verified that your ip matches yours as paladin on the other site.

                      Give it up already. It's just sad now.

                        I wasn't talking about "internet shorthand". I was going to correct you in that you should have said run not ran in your other post. You are fucking stupid.

                        And just so you know, I know plenty of people who correct others' grammar on here.

                        While we are on the subject of learning stuff, when are you going to learn you aren't smarter than most of us on here?

                          Hahaha another "smart" person. You'll be entertaining, if nothing else. I look forward to more of your failed intellectualism. But hey, at least you can take comfort in the fact that you'll fit right in. This forum is full of people who think they're oh so much smarter than everyone else. It would be funny to see what you rejects look like in real life.
