Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cutting the Check Today...

I am proud to be part of the 52% who actually pays taxes. I just cut a substantial check to subsidize the 48% who pay NOTHING!

Just paying my "fair share".

I gotta pay them tomorrow. Millions of non-payers are depending on us!

We pay quarterly. Actually got a little back from last year. It was applied to the first quarter and had to cut another check to cover the balance.

I keep looking for the 48% to step up and do "their share". Personally, I don't think taking entitlements constitutes "their share".

The 48% ARE doing their part.

They are providing a hand to put something in. Where would we put all that confiscated money if we didn't have empty (idle) hands to put it in?


You're welcome.

Count me in........yesterday I did the deed.

I don't think you "got a little back" you just payed too much in and they used your money interest free for a while.

I bet you payed way too much in, just like the rest of us in the 52%.

Just put mine in the mail.

I did my return the other day, and I will be paying an additional $5K on top of the $16K I already paid. Death and taxes -- but no real complaints -- for 41 years, I have counted on honest people paying their taxes for my salary. I don't mind paying my share, but it's when you know you're paying someone else's it hurts.

The part that chaps me is the solidly wealthy people I know who make a career out of paying nothing.

We stopped using a client of Jeanne's that was doing our taxes for the last two years, he gets two different leased Mercedes (a year) that are the big guns $100K plus models, he owns two condos on Vancouver Island, it doesn't sit well with us that someone doing as well as he does pays no taxes. We make a small fraction of what he does and pay more. We get together with them two or three times a year and every time I see him he has a different AMG or 550/600 class something.

I try to tell myself it's not his fault, he's just taking advantage of loopholes that were creatively designed to help people like him pay no taxes. Loopholes that take money to take advantage of.

Last year he wanted us to pay into an investment corporation designed to create losses that could then be claimed by us as investors. We were to pay $20k to negate our $50K+ liability, we told him we weren't interested in it.

While you are looking for the deadbeats to pay their share when they can't even pay attention, I'm looking for the wealthy to pay their share, when they have the money and will get by just fine.

Now who has the most realistic chance of getting someone to pay their share?

Sent mine away, it hurt, A LOT, and it's going to hurt, MORE, when they cash the cheque

Miss Lynn by your response I would guess you might be paying in Canada or a lest was educated there. Cheers NC

..........I pay quarterly,,,,but me too!

The "pay no" tax, who will be Obama supporters for the most part.

Give the man a prize !

That "q" gives it away, every time !

I never minded paying taxes until I began to understand how many criminals they were supporting.

I got back about $7k and wanted to thank you all for contributing to this po' boy.

H.J. Res 34 (2011) � Redistribution of Wealth Amendment to the Constitution

H.R. 1124 (2011). Legislation to impose exorbitant federal tax rates on those that government deems to earn too much

I never could understand how it is fair to penalize someone for trying harder to better themselves.

I pay quarterly and also have money withheld from my pay. I have four large checks ready to go, one for my 2011 Fed payment, one for my 2011 State payment, one for my first quarter Fed payment, and one for my first quarter State payment.

These checks total more than what most people earn in a year and do not include all the quarterly payments I made last year or the money deducted from my pay.

You may BYSA I use a CPA to get me every advantage possible only a fool wouldn't

Taxation without representation was a catalyst for something that happened about 240 years ago... now, what was that? The current system no doubt needs an overhaul.

I absolutely, positively believe know I am NOT being represented by my government. Sadly, doesn't appear to be much I can effectively do about it.

I suppose all I can ask is that those I'm supporting, please start sucking on my other teet as one nipple is sore and starting to get chaffed.
