more you make the more you pay in taxes.

If your taxable income is between
0 thru 8,025 your tax bracket is 10%

8,025 - 32,550 = 15%

32,550 - 78,850 = 25%

78,550 - 164,550 = 28%

164,550 - 357,700 = 33%

357,700 and above = 35%


so the more you make the more you are punished which is a completely unfair system. you are much better off being poor, when you pay so much for taxes knowing that the money is just wasted on useless government BS it pisses you off and you end up paying hospital bills for health conditions related to stress/anger.

I totally agree, however things that are required to live/work are out of proportion for those folks that at the lower end of this income. meaning a gal of milk or a tank of gas is a higher % of available income. That's why sale's tax could/might be a fair way to do things???

While I agree that it is an unfair system, I definately disagree about being better off poor than wealthy.

I am with you on this one for sure. My tax money seems to go to the good for nothing floozys that will "only have 5 kids cause the government won't pay for any more. " This is a statement I have heard 2 times in the last year.

Amen on that one I know there are a few of us that work in the oil and gas field he for sure aint gonna be looking out for us. Yeah the tax% thing is :bsflag:. Its not my fault that I found something that I was good at and paid well. Then I have to pay for people that dont work. Drives me nuts

[fishoops]

Its not my fault that I found something that I was good at and paid well.

No, it is "your fault." You went out, found something you're good at, work hard day in and day out, and are successful because of it. This is the thing that drives me crazy about liberals. They don't understand the concept of hard-working people who go out and earn what they get. In a perfect left wing world, the guy who sits on the street corner twiddling his thumb gets as big a slice of the pie as the guy who makes something of himself and fulfills his potential. Man, I hate picking up the slack of people who refuse to put back into the system they are abusing..Damn, God help us if Obama gets into the White House...
