I got my refund in the mail yesterday. Woohoo!!!!

Now I just have to figure out how to save enough of it for the Con this year.

By the way, when is the Con going to be? HTC? Anybody?

Oh come on Mietla, you should THANK them for holding that money for us, because we all know we are too stupid to invest it securely until it is time to pay. Thank you Big Brother!

PS I owed zero tax this year, and am getting EIC check!

I'm surprised that the IRS doesn't tax your tax return.

Woah, I better shut my mouth before I give them an idea!

Oh yes they do

. Your state refund is a subject of fed tax.

LOL I guess I wouldn't have known that since I've never had a refund (I owed every year since I started paying taxes).

I had the privilege of being charged a 10% penalty for withdrawing money from an IRA that I was required by law to withdraw. That was in addition to the other taxes I got to pay on that money.

I love Mr. Taxman

Hmmm...last year I had capital gains I had to pay on stock sold in 1999 (Thks Microsoft, for the free $2700 dollar riding lawnmower!) and ended up paying in about $600 in federal taxes.

This year, I had 0 capital gains and I paid in $900 dollars!. Must-Get-Wife-To-Work-Less.

Must be nice to get a refund.

I’m married, have a descent family income, modest house, and no children. What does that all add up to, I owe a crap pot load for doing well and planning my life out. Not to mention I work in one state and live in another so I get even more taxes taken. Oh, did I also mention I live in one of the only cities in the country that has an income tax.

Needless to say this is one of the happiest times of the year for me

After some calculations I have made, I have become truly frightened about next year. I’m considering seeing a chiropractor for the damage that has been done from all the liberals standing on my back!

Yup, but isnt it funny how the Democrats do not want the "wealthy" to get their money back, despite the fact they pay 80% of the bills for the country. So, only the poor, who dont pay taxes, should get money. Yea right. And when Bush stuck to his guns, the Democrats said "No no no, we need to reduce PAYROLL taxes". We can't, the good ole Democrats have those nice and high, to keep Social Security open.

Isn't a dumb, vicious circle, and the only way the democrats can block the tax cut is through tax envy. How dare other people make more than you! We should tax them more since they have more! Yea yea! Pretty pathetic huh? Its obscenely stupid. Government has proven it wastes money terribly and yet the Dems want you to let them keep your money in Washington, since the "people" arent as responsible with it as you are.

I'm no genius but I work hard for my money, and Im quite certain I can make use of it better than they can.

Rant over...fer now

we should get rid of the tax withholding by the employer and instead force everybody to themselves write a check to the IRS on Apr 15.
