Death and Taxes

[RachelR]

Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes
-- Benjamin Franklin

There will always be death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.

So, what percentage of your check is deducted for taxes? I'm currently at 27% being deducted to pad my politicians pocket. How bout you?

Raych, PM!

38 percent. I WISH it was 27 percent.

That would be a 21,600 a year raise.

You make $196,000 (roughly) a year?

Buy me a Springfield .45 1911, please! I wouldn't say no to a pool table, either!

Being self employed they tax you on everything possible, at a higher rate. Every year I have to pay a property tax on property I have already paid tax on, and a personal tax return and a business tax return.

If the revolutionaries thought taxation without representation was bad, they should have stuck around and saw taxation WITH representation.

And just look at what the tyrants are trying to do in Tennesee.

Mike...

Do you know where the term "Free and Clear "comes from?

Years ago, you only paid taxes on property that you owed money on. Once the property was paid off, you no longer owed taxes on it, thus it was considered "free and clear".

It was an incentive to pay off your property debt as soon as possible. Unfortunatley, sometime in the 50's this was done away with by the politicians that beleived they were doing it for our own good.

Like usuall, we got screwed.

Now you pay off your property and pay taxes on it anyway. Its like renting your own property from the government. If you dont think it's like paying rent, try not paying your taxes on it for a few years and ser what happens..

Crazy... close..combined income,my wife works plus we have a few other things going.I pay in taxes what a whole lot of other people make in a year.It aint right.

If things continue to get worse instead of better, some day I may GIVE you a gun along with some ammo.

Well the taxes are always gonna get worse and sorse since congress is the only body that I know who has the ability to vote themselves a raise every year. I can assure you it is much more than a cost of living raise. I wonder how much money I would be making if I had the ability to set my own raises. How much would you be making? I might be taxed roughly 27% but if congress would cut some taxes out and make it all fair and equal we all would get raises (exept the rich) they would have to pay their fair share.

I have a job! In fact, when school is in session, I also work at the computer lab. Work. Hah. I sit at the computer and surf the net and make sure people sign in.

And with all that, I make on a little more in a year then Watchman would save on that 11%!

Hah. For me it doesn't matter if school is in session or not. I can sit in ANY of the computer labs and surf the net and make sure people don't GET IN! Just like I'm doing now!

And with all that, I make a lot more in a year than Crazy in a Jeep would dream of making and take a hit of around 35%.

Oh, I can dream of making a lot of money ...
