How the hell is this possible. It tilts me so hard knowing that almost half of the country isnt responsible for paying taxes. I dont exactly bust my ass but im a profitable poker player/student and if I didnt pay taxes my house and car would be a lot nicer.
F this system. -
you just found this out?
-
It gets even more scary. Obama wants to give all of them a tax break! Figure that one out.
-
You don't even want to know how many people get back more than they pay in for federal taxes..... Earned Income credit, look that up...
-
tell that to wesley snipes
-
yeah but there are a bunch of cases where people have challenged this and spent time in a federal pound me in the ass.
Yeah thats another thing that kills me how the hell can you tax people who are not taxed in the first place.
Not to hijack my own thread but the fair tax is begining to make more and more sense to me. -
From IRS site
Did you know that in Tax Year 2006, over 22.4 million taxpayers received $43.7 billion dollars in EITC – making the credit a great investment in the lives of those who claim it? However, the IRS estimates 20 percent to 25 percent of people who qualify for the credit do not claim it.

He wants to give a tax break to 95% of Americans. 95% do not pay taxes, including said 41% OP refers to. Don't get your panties in a wad, sax, I doubt he'll do anything he's promising anyway. In fact, my guess is that there will be tax increases.
-
Good. It should be 100%.
-
Oh okay, I guess I'm confused. So you are saying that the top 5% all pay tax?
-
lol republicans. PLZ STFU for the next 8 years.
OP- I think if this really bothers you you need to worry about yourself a little more, you know what i mean. Why do you pay taxes? Do you do it because you feel it is moraly correct, or because you don't want to go to jail and you "have to". My guess would be the latter. Therefore your anger is not because it is morally wrong, but because you need to do it and they don't. Don't playa hate brotha. Tax evasion is always an option! -
What up emcee. Just got home from my poker night with the boyz. Raped them for a whopping $12 weeeeeeeeeeee.
-
Sure they do.
-
ECUgirl- elections over, "dat nigga" won. get over it
-
LOL @ morally correct to pay you taxes. i think the state taking the fruits of your labor by force with the threat of taking away your liberty is imoral.

I'm over it, trust me. I'm hoping he will be everything his supporters believe he is. I find his math a little fuzzy with all his campaign promises and then wanting to give tax cuts, but we'll see.

So...how else do you expect the government to pay for the services that you use every day...print more monies?

i agree with you bro, i was just making my point
-
when i hear dems talk about what they're gonna do, a quote runs through my mind:
"lord please forgive them for then know not what they do." -
keep in mind of that 40% that dont pay federal taxes many still get a tax refund back.
lalala -
I'll have to give the tax thing some thought. It just doesnt make sense to me. At any rate, Obama's plans / promises will all be shaped by what develops in the economy over the next few months. Anyone that thinks he's going to plow ahead with promises in this environment has obviously had a lot more to drink than I have tonite :)
-
ecu- Tax cuts are needed, but DEFINITELY NOT for the rich. The economy is fucked because rich people and their money, not because of hard working types like you or me
-
the gov't gets a big chunk of money that is not from the income tax. cut the size of gov't to what was laid out in the constitution, if there is still a need for extra revenue i would be in favor of the fairtax.

Actually, rich people are the backbone of our economy. Without rich people, there would be no jobs. If you really buy into Republicans wanting to give tax breaks to the rich and screw the middle class, then I don't know what to tell you. I pay less taxes under Bush than I paid under Clinton and I'm solidly middle class.
