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.

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.....

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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/

It's idiotic NOT to take advantage of "deduction after deduction" and "write off after write off", if you qualify. If it's legal i'm damn sure taking it! There is nothing wrong with playing by the rules.

Exactly. If you feel that you haven't paid enough, feel free to send more to these people. I'm sure they'll take it.

My grandmother said back in the early 50s all they had to pay was Federal Tax & House Tax. That was it! They some how managed to build all these roads & Bridges in America during those times on those taxs, Now we pay 4 times the Tax's our grandparents paid back when they where our age! They just have to maintain the roads & make them wider for the growing population. But I would think it would be alot cheaper to maintain something that is already there then having to start from scratch! Yes our infastructure of this country is falling apart!

And just what was your total tax liability last year? When you move out of mom and dads house then you can talk.

Any one want to bet he comes back with the I'm a self made millionaire bull shit ?

I thought that was a prerequisite to posting in here.

Just because the Fed and government fuck shit up on a new level, doesn't mean I need to be punished and have to pay for it. Bankers and politicians seem to be able to make decisions with no risk while we pick up their mess so they can scheme on ways to get more shit fucked up. Fuck that!

Well said!

Heh... I think I pay my fair share with deductions. You're welcome.
