I make 60k and my paycheck is about 1.5k biweekly so that's about 36k per year that I see. I would gladly take 60-70k. I am managing quite well with 36k, I own a 165k house. The bank gave me a limit of 200k originally, but I was making a bit less than 60k at the time. In fact just a bump from 60k to 62k has made a huge difference for me, well with lot of the overtime it's probably higher, but the base is 62k. Basically, any extra money after expenses is gravy. So yeah 100k and I could probably afford another mortgage if I wanted to. Though that's probably not what I'd do with the money, but I'd think about it. House flipping, or rentals can make decent money. Lot of work though.

Your gonna get raped...I had $70K of lump sum payments that no taxes were taken out of. I'm hoping I'll only be in the hole $10K when it is all said and done when I see the CPA in march.

You are perfectly free to "take" your money to a society that is cheaper to support. I hear Somalia is nice this time of year. Honestly, if you dont want to support our society, kindly GTFO.
It appears we have found a "taker"
Just did my taxes last night. I'm so pissed how much tax I'm going to have to pay. I'm no longer eligibile for many deductions. I haven't even gotten to the AMT part yet!!!!!! Depending how this pans out I might switch political parties.....

I made ~$85k last year. My *effective* federal rate was 17%. Now you share.
Society isn't supposed to be "supported", it should be self sufficient, or else it's not much of a society at all.
If you don't like his opinion, maybe YOU should GTFO
Depends on the society, a civilized society will take care of those that can't support themselves.

The issue a lot of us have is there is a big difference between "can't" and "won't/don't".
I grumble every time I'm at walmart when somebody is paying for groceries with a link card (IL food stamp system) and talking on a brand new iPhone.
Can't buy groceries but can afford a $100 a month phone & data plan.
Nice. :thumbsdown:
Why don't we just take all of your85k to "support society"?
Do you do the same grumble when you see Mitt Romney's effective tax rate?

Yeah, just like i thought, a total hypocrite. Im done with this nonsense.
deflection!
Rebound: So you support a flat tax-rate system? Because I do.
Or do you support more loopholes as lipservice to the critics of the current loopholes just to get/stay elected, and to leave the door open to repeat the same process in 4 years?
False either/or statement!
Rebound: We're done.
flat tax...lulz.
Ya I figured you'd just run away. Soundbytes only last as long as a 15 second radio spot.
Says the guy advocating a flat tax...

you paid 15% on 140k... what's your complaint again?Yes, it sucks. I made 141,000 and have 3 kids and a wife. I paid 21,000 dollars in taxes and only getting 1,800 back.
It's the only way to fix the loopholes.
