It's April 15th, and I get sent more money to the IRS. I suppose Obama is not entirely to blame, I hate our tax code under every President. Some lower taxes a bit (Reagan, W.) some raise it (Klinton). In the end, the progressive tax code sux and I long for a flat tax.

I lose a hunt every quarter of the year to taxes

I sure as hell did! And to make matters worse, with the IRS you never know when they decide to make your life a living hell...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I want to opt out of all govt programs, no police, no fire dept, unemployment, I'll take care of my family, govt can take care of whoever wants their aid, I'll send you nothing. If I knew where to go, I'd leave the USA, seriously thinking about going Galt in Alaska.

For now...........

Didn't lose a hunt, but I did lose the equivalent of the price I just paid for a new Dan Wesson Guardian .45. :-(
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something,

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I lost my leopard to Obamacare. And also lost my doc in the process.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

No,no! If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Barry told us so.

I just talked to a guy that was supposed to be headed to Africa for elephant. Obama has put a moratorium on ivory into the U.S. And that ended his trip...

I lost a Nightforce scope I have been wanting today! So much for being on the absolute bottom rung of the Middle class. If I would have made about 2k less last year I would have gotten a few bucks back!

If you make 50-100 grand Obumie Care costs you about 6 grand, enough for a nice plains game hunt. Don't know if our country can stand 8 years of the Hildabeest, might not be much left by 2016. 750 mill for a website to sign up a supposed 7 mill, you got to be f&&ing kidding me.

Heard on Fox News that Obama has proposed 409 new or proposed tax increases since he has been in office...so far.

We also lost a couple of very nice guided Trips to someplace. Or a new vehicle for me. I think i am paying for a few families living expenses and do not get the deductions.
Being retired and having to pay in big time is a bummer. I have now been assigned by my accountant to pay a 3 month tax estimate for this year so we will see where that leads. For both state and federal income tax. a lot of this had to do with congress changing the withholding tax percentage. We had to sit down and see where we needed to be and make adjustments so i do not have a huge curve ball come tax time.
You had better hold on to your lug-nuts for next year where i have read that there are 442 new tax increases in the pipe line. And our bunglers in congress, just sit by and do nothing to stop the pillage.
With 10% of the taxpayers paying 71% of the taxes, i think we pay more than our fair share. It is unbelievable that 45% of the population pay no federal taxes.
The affordable health care act (Obama care) caused my insurance premiums to go up about 15%. However that is not a tax.

Didn't lose a hunt, but I lost a NULA rifle among other things...
Finding one of those reasonable and in LH is a hunt unto itself.

I think I am supporting several children and didn't even get the 15 minutes of pleasure.
