Tax Rant

[jreifsch80]

I didn't realize that getting a pay raise would mean that I have to pay for everyone else's goddamn food stamps. Is this how the game works? Real Americans working their butts off have to pay for all the fucking leaches that are sucking our life out? Seriously, how do you guys deal with this shit? How do you feel about paying 15%+ to the federal government who just turns around and wastes your hard-earned money?

I had to come up with $8K 2 years ago, $7K last year, removed all of my deductions and still have to come up with over $3K this year. 15% I wish...

We're not "wealthy", but make too much according to the IRS to deduct losses from a rental property.

I sure feel like I'm on a canoe ride and I can hear Dueling Banjos...

To think that the nation fought a revolutionary war over a 2% tax.... My, how times have changed.

You're a 1 percenter, aren't you?

I really don't think deductions should exist. You should not get a "bonus" at tax time because you invested poorly, have student loans, lived on food stamps, and are a single mom with 8 kids. There should be no deductions at all.

Then again, there should be no income tax. There shouldn't be single moms with 8 kids living on food stamps, and the federal welfare programs shouldn't be growing by 30-50% every year. If federal assistance programs actually worked, every year we should see a decrease in the number of beneficiaries, right?

Has anyone that has health insurance take note of that little addition in box 12? Obama care is coming and it will not be funny.

Now that's how a HoneyBadger RANTS! I expect EVERYONE to give a tax rant this year. My books won't be in until the beginning of April. We have been aggressively saving and are preparing to get seriously bent this year (and yes it's only getting worse). I plan on telling my wife the the final figures while she is on the treadmill, hopefully minimizing any chance of a heart attack.

Looks to me like you're planning on using her life insurance money to pay the IRS after she falls off that treadmill and breaks her neck!

Hopefully the running will prevent/minimize the surge of anxiety and she can run off her anger. Insurance is paid up.

And you have 2 months to dwell over writing that check, that sucks!

Not enough inventive swearing.

Fuck. This. I thought I had it planned out pretty well this year and wasn't going to owe anything. If anything, I thought I would get a few bucks back. Nope. NopeNopeNope. Suprise motherfucker, you owe the fed over $4k! For what? They don't do their fucking jobs! Why should I pay them for nothing? They aren't doing me any favors, just raping the Constitution and defiling the Bill of Rights like Jim and a bus full of middleschool boys. Here's what changed from last year: My wife and I finally make real paychecks that put us above $57K AGI. I didn't realize that getting a pay raise would mean that I have to pay for everyone else's goddamn food stamps. Is this how the game works? Real Americans working their butts off have to pay for all the fucking leaches that are sucking our life out? Seriously, how do you guys deal with this shit? How do you feel about paying 15%+ to the federal government who just turns around and wastes your hard-earned money? Fucking unions are jacking up taxes and those OWS fucks are sucking at the government teat! GodDAMN! FFS, THIS IS RIDICULOUS

Time for a fucking drink...
