my ass hurts

[Big Frank]

Sanders would raise my taxes from less than $9,000 to almost $13,000. He needs to be defeated at all cost. Trump would somehow lower my taxes to under $6,000, less than half of the Bern. He would probably raise the national debt because the money has to come from somewhere.

How your tax liability changes under...

Trump
Yuuuge tax cuts, without explicit offsetting spending cuts.
Pay $2,930 less (Tax rate: 11.7%)

Cruz
For most, 10% flat rate on income tax and 16% value-added tax.
Pay $1,740 less (Tax rate: 14%)

Clinton
Taxes stay about the same.
Pay $30 more (Tax rate: 17.5%)

Sanders
Big tax increases, mostly on the rich, to pay for big programs.
Pay $3,850 more (Tax rate: 25.1%)

And you have a hot doctor wife and child 

You need to look at something with your financial people - Knowing a little about property and equipment, it doesn't sound like they are reporting your financial transactions correctly - unless you are not in the business of buying and selling or if you do not intend to reinvest the procedes.  Second, they need to do a better job of estimating through the year, or your large sums will cost you larger penalties for not making large enough contributions through the year.

  in my case its keeping people in other business employed, which is deep in tge red, but qon't be  once production starts.I also run a nonprofit which I fund the overhead.  Still it sucks that I send them 40+% of my income.

I ended up owing a little to the Fed and getting back a little from the State, Oregon (same a TAB).  What hurts this year is my Health Insurance premiums.  Started a new job and to cover my family my portion is $1700 a month. That is more than my mortgage, Car payment and insurance combined. 

I almost quit my job over it but they helped out a bit.

Thankfully my wife is a doc, so that is covered by her employer, otherwise it would be about 1900/ month.

Wow. If I had to pay that much for insurance I'd be left with $1,000 to pay for everything else.

That's a family plan, Frank.

My premiums here in MA based on my unemployment income of about $2800/month are $250 bucks/month since my wife is on Medicare already.  They're going up if my next employer doesn't carry me or I work on contract.

Thank you to the taxpayers paying the rest of my premiums...

Sensible spending by the fed and you can lower your taxes without the media mantra of "..the money has to come from somewhere."  Sure, it comes from somewhere and that is from you and I....and Tab, of course!  I think Tom, Path and Mike pay some...but I dunno... 

Anyway, the outright pissing away of your money and my money is criminal.  The Congress has set itself up as an imperial council sheltered from the laws and restrictions imposed on you and I.  They even have an exemption for insider transactions on stock trades.  The rat bastards don't have to adhere to Obamacare and their staffs are exempted to....I'm paying $850 a month more than I was 2-1/2 years ago becase of Obamafornicare.  Happy to have a job and I've held the line...but no raise for 4 years.

Hey, we just don't matter.  Our productivity is theirs to enjoy....not ours.  So they steal it....and they tax it sneaky by doing things like printing more money to make ours worth less, call taxes fees instead of taxes, and pit us against ourselves in the rich-poor thing which the media loves. 

So I pay a lot of tax, my kinfolk that make a lot less than I do not so much.  So when you figure the exemptions I can't take because of income level when it's all said and done I'm putting in 60-70 hours a week (sound familiar Tab) and my cousins are able to afford vacations and hunting trips I can't....but then they say I'm the rich one...lost 3 weeks vacation because I couldn't take it last year.  The guys working for me got theirs...and their holidays too because I saw to it (familiar Tab?)...me, I could have taken mine if I had wanted because I can do anything I want on my last day (at work).

So I know about 40-50 people who lost their jobs in this downturn....no job and no exemption from buying Obamafornicare.  Borrowing money on credit cards hoping for a job to pay for the insurance the rat bastards imposed on us. 

Heck, I am rambling all over the place...rant off.

I hear ya Rastus about them pissing away our money. Some of the pork barrel spending is beyond ridiculous. If they got rid of that BS they could lower our taxes and our multi-trillion dollar debt at the same time and I'd be a happy camper. I just have a hard time believing it will get done when the majority in both parties want to stick to the status quo.

I have good health insurance that I pay into every month as a GM retiree. I only see the doctor for a few minutes and used to pay a $25 co-pay. Now I have a deductible of $70 for every office call since Obomanation care was passed. That's like $20 a minute and was quite a jump but I know a lot of people have it way worse off than I do.

End foreign aid for starters.

[Rastus]

I'm for ending foreign aid.  We should start in Chicago, San Antonio, Los Angeles, Detroit....anywhere illegals have planted themselves.  That would include illegals made legals illegally by the government especially to include Syrians, and others of the mooslim religion etc.
