I like Hong Kong's tax rate for cars - around 100% :-)Douglas Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230728769771507712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-61422817637116599332017-04-11T14:31:01.106-06:002017-04-11T14:31:01.106-06:00Since the 47% or whatever it is that don't pay...Since the 47% or whatever it is that don't pay taxes could care less about government fiscal responsibility and will invariably vote for Santa Claus, I would like to see either everyone taxed and forced to pay something, or voting limited to only those who pay taxes. As I bonus, I would eliminate payroll federal tax withholding and make everyone pay a lump sum of what they owe for the year due the day before election day.Bizzy Brainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-34073362673836780172017-04-11T10:32:57.763-06:002017-04-11T10:32:57.763-06:00JR - completely agree.

So fixed and sent again, and it was accepted.Douglas Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230728769771507712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-33306120942260014082017-04-10T20:28:40.067-06:002017-04-10T20:28:40.067-06:00Filed mine today and got an email that the IRS has...Filed mine today and got an email that the IRS has accepted my return. Not fun to see that money get sucked out of my checking account, but I think we can agree it is better to be in the group that pays taxes than in the group that doesn't. What I would like is more say on how the money gets spent.John Riegseckerhttp://skygardener.zenfolio.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-18631315522313104472017-04-10T09:44:02.103-06:002017-04-10T09:44:02.103-06:00de nada; working on ours today, so am generally in...de nada; working on ours today, so am generally in a pissy mood :-)Douglas Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230728769771507712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-98167211967301172017-04-10T09:40:51.765-06:002017-04-10T09:40:51.765-06:00VERY informative information!
