Poor, sick Mooron. Just because you're an angry person doesn't mean you
should ignore Gay advice.


Yeah... I'll ignore it.

Zing! The cannuck shot himself where it hurts most--in the wallet.


Please explain how 3% interest over 6 months is killing me financially???

It's not like I "Save" money. If I have cash.. I spend it.... if I need
Cash... I earn it.

It's weird, but worth a watch. Lots of symbolism, and the dialog is
priceless. I own a copy, but have absolutely no idea why.


Probably the same reason you calculate your taxes to the penny... and think
getting a refund is bad!

Once again your lack of knowledge in anything remotely related to the
conservative ideals the USA was founded on is showing.

Perhaps he estimates his tax payments. According to law payments this
year are based on how you did last year. Perhaps he did not do as well
this year, and yet still had to pay taxes as if he did. Thus, he gets a
refund.


Or . . . you can be smarter and pay less estimated tax than calculated,
thus withholding that which you really don't owe the government anyway.
It's not really rocket science to estimate how much tax you actually will
owe in a given year. $6K of overpayment is foolish.

Depends, Max. In days of yore captains would hold some of their crews pay
while they went ashore, so that when they got back to the ship they wouldn't
be broke.

^K of money held by the government..not paying interest to you, but
using your money for their own purpose....I wonder what the overall
refund amount is for one year? Multiplied by 3.5-4%...whole lot of
people giving a whole lot of money away...such patriotism!

Well then, I guess you'll be well practiced when you "retire." (read: go
on full-time government welfare)

If the government holding on to your cash for you for one year interest free
is good, wouldn't holding onto it for 2 years be better?

Even better why don't they take what they want and just hold onto it until
one reaches retirement age. They can give it back interest free. For your
own good!

Whoops! Didn't I just describe social security?

Amen!
