Tax thought..actually should go to the front page

Quote from tango29:

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 thing to get to that rate. I'd pay 10% for that income to avoid the waste of life, money, and time that I put into taxes currently. Do you get what I am saying now, or should I make it simpler? I guess I know why when I call my COngresspeople idiots I get no where, as too many in our country just don't get the point. The waste of time, money ect to come to the same end.

when you got to 8% you used the very deductions you complain about to get there.
i am all for a simpler code but like i said. the devil is in the details and a flat tax aint going to happen.

I'm all for simpler, but no one has been able to come up with something viable.

They actually didn't cut the Social Security funding rate, only the rate which people pay - it is still getting the same contribution as always - only from a different Federal pool of money instead of taxpayer pockets.

As far as the tax code, deductions and credits are designed to encourage behavior and subsidize pet projects. Behavior like buying homes and giving to charity and doing other things that are fiscally responsible and good for society. The problem with keeping ANY deductions/credits is that it becomes a slippery slope for politicians and like everything else...they just can't stop.

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 governement allowed companies to underfund pensions to the point of failure. Why because someone paid for that concept to get a union contract, or more than one paid for it. I would like to see the tax extended to everyone, and offer no income cutt off which it has currently. I won't miss the same amount coming out of my wifes check if it was there to whatever her max income. Right now she is beyond the max and part of that comes back in her checks, but again, it would be a simple tax that most would have no clue or just accept. Not that either idea is great, but it would make the "rich"pay more, as opposed to know which so many whine about.
 
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 representing the people. Fantasy, I don't think so, but as long as people sit back it is. I am intolerate of that life. Too many people have died for this country to accept that complacency.
 
I put that moron Free Thinker on ignore a long time ago. Sadly, sometimes I still see his posts when quoted.

Guy really is a functional retard. Can't comprehend a single paragraph without going off on some nonsensical tangent.

Exactly.
 
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 still pay for their software mistake, or your failure to update before a form was finalized. Remeber the IRS doesn't have to question this year, they can go back quite a few years.
