True, but you get a lot of government bang for the buck. Or at least you get
banged a lot by your government as it pursues your bucks,,,,,,hard to say. :-)

Me? I get to pay good ol punative "AMT".
Particularly aggressive hosing reserved for
folks with unusual incomes. (Certainly doesn't mean unusually high). They
actually suspend the rules and charge a higher amount than the tables call for!
Woa....bummer. My wife's a CPA, or I'd swear there's a hitch in the giddy-up
someplace.

(non partisan comment follows)

Doesn't matter whether the Democratic rat *******s or the Republican rat
*******s are temporarily in charge of cooking the books or how big a "tax cut"
is supposedly in place, they get much more than they need- and several times as
much as they spend wisely.


Wait until the bills start coming due for the Bush misAdministration's
war in iraq, its spending and its refusal to play straight with the
American people on taxes.

Happy Tax Freedom Day!!

If my home and family were under attack by people who just didn't like me
because the way I live is pleasant and comfortable and the way they live
isn't --

You bet your ass I would -- until the last one of them stopped shooting.

The point is the Bush tax cut doesn't make sense in our post-9/11 world.
How are we paying for 1) the deployment of the regular, reserve, and
National Guard troops, 2) the rebuilding cost of Iraq (remember the
$87,000,000,000?), 3) homeland security? The answer is our children and
grand-children are going to be stuck with the bill.

conventional thinking.....always looks that way on paper .... WW-II vets
theoretically had to come home and then pay for the war, too. but if you
let the economy roll, it never works out that way. revenues increase, and
the books even out faster than anticipated

if you raise taxes now, just as the economy is starting to roll again,
you'll kill the recovery, and still have to pay for the war.

Happy Tax Freedom Day!!

In a Saturday editorial, the Washington Times skewered Newsweek pretty good
for the latter's "Dirty Little Secret of the Tax Cut" cover story.



The Wash Times is nothing more than a Bush house organ.

Happy Tax Freedom Day!!

Anybody besides me always find this whole concept about mentioning how
many days into the year you work to pay your taxes, as a way of
demonstrating that the speaker thinks taxes are too high, is pretty
funny and silly? I mean, isn't it kind of unnecessary. Surely the
audience could understand just the statement "Tax rates are nn
percent," without having to illustrate it by pointing out what date in
the year is nn% through the year?
