Taxes

[BigBo]

Done. I'm hurtin' big time this year. We paid a shiite load of taxes and still ended up having to pay back $3K
I'm really hurtin' bad............... I'm glad I could do my part to help out all the illegal aliens and bogus welfare recipients. I hope they appreciate it.

our GOV. needs some serious reform,

I have already spend my return and wishin I got more back.
I turn down over time because they take like 50% of my pay

["uffah!!"]

Hey Slipknot, I don't care if you don't pay any taxes at all, but be sure you pay your Social Security Tax, because I'M depending on people like you to pay. That way, I can keep collecting mine!!!!!!!

Ever noticed how most Americans sound like Republicans come tax time! We all get pissed and want lower tax rates just like Republicans are for. The best way to get people stirred up and to really lower our taxes is to not have our taxes withheld from our weekly checks. If Americans had to personally write our tax checks say once a month to the feds and state we would go nuts! But by having our taxes automaticlly withheld from our pay we dont realize how much they are taking.

Just remeber, your Democratic friends in Washington want to roll back the previous tax cuts. Higher taxes if they come to power my friends!

["uffah!!"]

My father-in-law had a favorite saying,"I wish I could pay $100,000. dollars a year in taxes". I had asked him, why would you want to pay that much in taxes? His answer,"Because that ment I was making that much".

Higher taxes for some, but not for you Skippy...you don't earn enough

You can spout all the oversimplified Reaganomics all you want, but the fact remains that tax cuts without fiscal discipline are going to hurt everyone in the end...and this time it's the GOP who's leading our children over the cliff

And Mike, just to set the record straight...I've heard that about 50 Billion in tax revenue is collected from illegal workers who don't see a cent of it in deferred benefits. They might just be subsidizing themselves!

$ 50 Billion? Don't challange you on that because I don't know. How about all the "under the table" money? What is the differential between the hourly pay for a citizen and what is paid to an illegal? If I lose my job and am willing to cut grass for milk and bread will I be paid a fair wage or the illegal wage? Or be told: you are a citizen, too bad.

Skippy - if the current administration were fiscally repsonsible to the republican mantra, awwww nevermind, you just keep plugging yourslef into the BNN (Bush News Network) everynight, OK? At least it is worth the entertainment value...

I owe, I owe....

How about all the under the table money with business in general? There's plenty of corruption to go around.

As for wages...I think it really depends on the industry. While I'm sure there is a lot of very low wage labor in the service industries, in some sectors like agriculture the pay is actually very good as the illegal workers are much more productive than their American counterparts.

Good one Spence

[ThrowingTimber]

I agree with Eben too... this is one of the signs of the apocalypse!!!

[Sea Dangles]

Never found humor in putting down someones income or lack thereof,to me it reeks of elitism.And that's foul.Some people are less fortunate than others due to circumstances beyond their control.A man who is able to fish is a rich man IMO.

Ya got that right Skip, and ever wonder why taxes are due April 15th, six months before election day. Move tax due date upto October 15th and see how many politicians would get re-elected in November. They plan and are counting on us to forget by election day.
