taxes

When do you say enough? At what percentage do you say screw this, we aren't bailing out the world? I mean why work for 40, 30 or 20 % take home pay while others get the same benifits and do nothing but have children and hate you.

Sounds like somebody recently filed their taxes.

this reminds me a thread I read earlier cant remember who posted it but I owe them a quarter cause I printed it off for the guys at work they should love it and ill be damned if I can find it but this is the screen shot of it would the actual owner of these lines please dont be offended but I laughed so hard I almost fell on my floor

A number of years ago, I owed the federal government $800 in taxes and I didn't send a check with the tax return. A few weeks later I got a call from them, now I had the money, that wasn't the point. The conversation went something like this:

Tax Guy: I'm calling to inquire about when you intend to pay your outstanding balance.

Me: I don't

Tax Guy: You have to!

Me: Why?

Tax Guy: Everyone has to pay taxes!

Me: Nope, not me.

Tax Guy (getting a little frantic): But, you have to, everyone has to pay their taxes.

Me: Why?

Tax Guy: Think about all the services the government provides for you (lists several)

Me: I don't use any of them

Tax Guy: You don't understand sir, everyone has to pay taxes!

Me: You don't understand, if I go to a store and lay out $800, I come out with a lot of stuff, you guys got nothin' for me.

Tax Guy: But EVERYONE has to pay their taxes. I pay my taxes!

Me: If everyone jumped off a bridge.....

Tax Guy: We'll garnishee your paychecks!

Me: yeah, I know, but I'm trying to get $800 worth of fun out of this, am I pissing you off

I've posted this before. So I'll do it again. I don't mind paying taxes and Lord knows I pay my fair share. I also have one of the world's best military to protect me. I have great schools, good roads, a great hospital, an awesome library, an outstanding police, fire and EMT team to protect me. And on and on. You might not have all that where you live so I can only look at my little corner of the world. But I think it buys me a lot. I go so sleep at night with a full tummy and a reasonable expectation that I'll awake in the morning. I don't have to worry about malaria or any of several dozen terrible diseases that many parts of the world live with every day.

where I live Rick,the library is free for those who live in the "city",otherwise,you pay $30 for a library card....

[Rick]

I pay for the card as well. But the building is there and it's stocked with everything from Plato to Playdough.

[nell67]

Never had to pay for a Library card where I lived before,LOL it was FREE public Library!

Taxes? I thought that was near Oklahoma? Isn't Dallas in Taxes?

I pay taxes and have no complaints. I receive what I pay for!

If I complain about it I would sound like a lot of other people and I like being different!

I pay taxes because someone has to employ all the num**uts who can't get a real job in a private company, and the federal gov't is a great employer for said num**nuts.

So that's what I do to reduce unemployment.

ah yes, the ongoing struggle to provide meaningless employment for the 'challenged' I, for one, am proud of your efforts bulrush.
