uh no. much less than that. sorry. the tax rate for someone in my
bracket (under 150K) is 28% marginal rate.

read the tax codes.


I do, there are a lot of things you deduct before you go to that tax
table.The 28% is also after you have paid 10% on the first $16,700,
15% from there to $67,900, 25% from there to $137,050
Unless you are making more that $150k you never saw that 28%

I know the tax in a gross of $78171 is $6949, (8.90%)using the
standard deduction and I bet you have a fat mortgage you can deduct.

Simple question What was your line 39 (Adjusted Gross) and what was
your line 60 (total tax)

He has to remember the numbers he punched in when he phoned in his tax
return.

Like most folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me.
I pay my taxes & the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a
random urine
test (with which I have no problem).

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to
people who
don't have to pass a urine test.

So, here is my question: Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to
get a
welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on
their feet.
I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting
on their
BUTT----doing drugs while I work.

Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had
to pass a
urine test to get a public assistance check?

I guess we could call the program "URINE OR YOU'RE OUT"!

Sounds like a damn good idea to me.

Everybody got a deal in the Bush tax cuts, Almost half the people in

than they have been in many years. Certainly the lowest they have been
in my life.
I have already posted the main numbers in my return and it was about
9%. I used to plan on 18-20%.


Almost half the people in the US aren't old enough to work.

Actually it must be less than that, unless the average age is 18 or
something. But I know it to be well over 25 years of age.

Immigration is the only reason US population is stable, as resident
birth rates are below sustaining levels.

Say about 25% are 18 or under. 13% retired or so. With less that 30%
working in non-government jobs and pay any signifigant amount of taxes,
well, one can see a huge problem that exists.
