just wondering how many others had to pay Uncle Sam this year and out of those who is against additional tax breaks ... I did and am for every tax break/decrease the Reps can squeeze out of DC. Get rid of the gov waste, make them do more with less - just like the rest of us.

Saw/heard that 5% of the US pop pay over 50% of the the taxes while 50% pay only 5%. No wonder the dems can sing their tax increase song to their voting base and still get elected ...

that the top 5 % own about that proportion of the total property in the country thus requiring the same proportion of tax dollars may have something to do with it.

That's B.S. where's your source that 5% of the people own 50% of the land? That shouldn't have anything to do with taxes anyway, unless you want to go back to only land owners get to vote. I'd be ok with that as I would own land the next day

Eagler,

How many more days until tax freedom day? 1 or 2 months?

F__k you very much IRS

And the funny thing for us Europeans is that 95% of USians act and think as if they belonged to that 5% and the rest were just trying to rip them off their stuff.

IRS owes me ~$250 (which is about how much my tax guy cost - word to the wise never have money in 2 countries).

I owe the Commonwealth of Massachusetts $1. I wonder if I can pay them out of my penny jar?

Screw that, I'd rather change the system and have it resemble some sort of fairness. In all actuality, I wouldn't mind paying 30%+ of my income if the sorry bastards would do their freaking jobs and spend it right instead of waisting it like they do. But as far as moving out of my country F you very much too

I was born here and need not leave to go to Mexico, they are all moving here. Alot of them to go straight to welfare too

Somebody answer my question, how long until tax freedom day?

I've never been taxed on money I didn't make.

The main reason that 1 person can pay as much in taxes as 10 people is that he is actually making 10 times more.

never said I'm in the top 5%, far from it.
Middle class at best. Just peeves me to see the crooks we call politicians turn taxes into a class envy, friggin robinhood story.
As if the "rich" owes it to us to pay our way ...

BTW... we had a very good year back in 97. Our EB and ECB bonus was the highest they'd ever been. Most people were getting some extra $8,000 in the month of February. One day, while we are meandering about at work, a voice comes on over the intercom and explains that we'll be getting an additional $1,000 just for the hell of it.

You should have heard how many people complained about the taxes that were taken out that extra $1000.

Why shouldn't they? what did the IRS/Feds do to earn that money? What's the diference in burning my grass hut, killing my goats and chickens if I don't pay the "king's tax" or the IRS taking my land, property and throwing me in jail? OR harrassing me every day with the threat of jail or confescation of my money/property? In one word the difference is none....

When is tax freedom day this year?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! is it still in may?
