idrankwhat 0 #77 April 2, 2010 Quote But the real question is what percentage of your income did you pay. The telling question is did you file short form standard deductions or did you take the effort to make your tax bill as low as possible. I think these folks chose the latter. On the other hand, these folks apparently chose to bribe the tax man So I can't help but to think there's something missing from the analysis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,146 #78 April 2, 2010 QuoteQuoteHow is my paying a lot of tax (more than $40,000 for 2009) towards running the country "biting" its "hand"? This is way way more than the average born-in-the-USA guy pays to the country. But the real question is what percentage of your income did you pay. The telling question is did you file short form standard deductions or did you take the effort to make your tax bill as low as possible. Not eligible for the short form....

kallend 2,146 #81 April 2, 2010 QuoteQuotedid you take the effort to make your tax bill as low as possible. You'll have to ask my wife, she filled it in. I fail to see what that has to do with Ron's point, however. Fact is, I contribute a lot more to the running of the country than the vast majority of those "born in the USA", as do a lot of other immigrants....

kallend 2,146 #87 April 3, 2010 Quote Quote did you take the effort to make your tax bill as low as possible. Did you? I'm still awaiting Ron's answer to my earlier question. Oh yes, Ron the SuperPatriot is awaiting his accountant. I expect his accountant is figuring out how Ron can pay more tax than he needs to.I'll answer you when he answers me and when you adequately explain how your question relates to "biting the hand that feeds you"....

I guess in Divotworld anyone who uses Turbotax, uses an accountant, H&R Block, or any other tax professional is "biting the hand that feeds them". I don't care if you had an accountant calculate the minimum amount. I think that's entirely practical. What I want to know is, once he calculates what you owe, how much extra do you voluntarily pay directly to the government? - as a responsible citizen that thinks his tax rate is too low and that the government can do better for society than you could with that money. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
