Maybe I misunderstand how it would work, but I think if you buy a used item from a buisness you will pay the tax just the same as new. Or for that matter buy a used car from an individual, you will still have to license it and that is where you again pay the tax. Less than new, but you can't...

I'd prefer tax rates. Consumption taxes more directly would make me think twice about a purchase and possibly stall the economy. I all ready pay sales tax at the state and local level, plus state income taxes. To me when people don't see a direct connection between their tax bill and buying a...

Sorry, the ktm post seemed to imply an ignore. Tom please post as I think that would be worth discussion. I'd be willing to say that adjusted rates maybe ok also. In other words over x income the rate is more, and so on. For me going beyond 35% is out of hand for anybody, but that is a code...

If you are saying I am Freestinker, I have no answer other than I am not. I will close the thread with asking people who think the code is crap to call their Representatives and tell them so. I can close with that and be happy. I wish it made feel like people would, but I guess I know better...

Feel free to put me on ignore. It won't break my heart. I would ask to say why? I believe our tax code is beyond stupid. Yet, I call and I get representatives who agree, but it doesn't change. Yet we reelect these same bought and paid for tools. I guess I must be wrong.

How about if that $70 went into the Treasury?

What part is incoherent for you? Pretty simple actually.

Why in the hell is paying for tax software acceptable, and in case you don't know they have no culpability if they are wrong or you forgot to do an update. You get to pay for the mistake on top of paying for the software. Oh, and don't be fooled by the deals to pay for extra coverage, you will...

Free thinker it aint going to happen because of people like you, and please correct me if I am wrong, but I call my congrees people at least once a week and raise hell. Do the same at some point these tools have to recognize the big paycheck from the special interest group i not as valuable as...

Maybe I misunderstand what you are saying, but yes they did cut the rate. I can document it via my wife's paycheck. She is contributing less, again paying less, for the tax than in the past. What sense does that make for an underfunded program? It is why pensions have gone by the waysiode as the...

Free Thinker, you missed my point, not surprised. My point is why do I have to document all the bullshit to get that rate. I am NOT!!!! complaing about the rate, just showing where I was at. Geez please read. My complaint is the stupidity of all I go through to document this that and the other...

Richter, someone will always be on the edge of the next level, as they are now. They might end up lowering their income as opposed to making $3 less and falling into the lower level, but that is no different than now, but they won't have the advantage of making up a tax deduction that doesn't...

I'll throw out, as an example. A couple of years ago our effective tax rate was 8%. I had a mortgage at the time, on top of the other stuff. Our income, ie total income was ~$99000. 3 kids, mortgage, paycheck deductions(before tax meds basically), charity, etc. I am as anti tax as the next...

I guess I have reached my limit of tolerance for the tax code. I am posting here, but I think it could go into a topic that would fall on the front page, and should. I think those of you who think the idea that it would be to complex to reduce the code to simple percentages at various dollar...

Good points! I would say bonds lose value at some point when the country is artificially inflating them, but again there is a short to medium term effect that could benefit these turds, so point taken. Again the short term could benefit larger term companies, at the expense of smaller companies...

I'd be interested to read opinions. To me at first review it seems pretty reasonable, but would like to read those that think it is a bad idea, and why. http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/tag/sheila-bair/ Hopefully the link comes through. I maybe an idiot, but not a complete idiot, and get the...

I will never understand why anyone buys the first iteration of anything. And yes that includes the Fantasy Island of Apple products. You are asking to be the real time guinea pig, but you have the honor of paying for it. Why? I like the idea of the Surface, but I will wait for the intial real...

I worked closely with a vendor when I was going in for work. I had the chance to get to know quite a few of their employees. Two guys always joked about their Indian bloodline. Why did they joke? Because they would receive a check every year for their share of gambling profits for the tribe. It...

From what I understand there is ample evidence that help was asked for before the final attack. There also is a tape of calls from the embassy, but those have classified as top secret. Not the first time, and the Dems aren't the first party to do this while in office, but why does that make it...

Actually, I am not real concerned about tax returns, but I would guess he takes every deduction that Romney does, yet it is ok for dumbocrats to take his donations, and worship his money. I want the tax code changed, simplified, and made more even, but the same phonies railing about it use it...
