yea I just re-read your post, that is fucked. No wonder everyone is at the bar.
Oh and VAT is our equivalent of Fair Tax, so the 23% VAT is applied at the bar too (plus duty and excise taxes) ;)

You know I can buy a bottle of Jameson cheaper on 5th Avenue in New York City than in Smithfield in Dublin where it's made?

Europe is more expensive for anything period. I never went to Ireland but I have been to most of europe. using the same analogy I drink Heineken, in Netherlands its twice as much as America.

I'm just under $11k ($56/yr over the poverty line) and I had to pay $144, last year.

When I was young one year I didn't work, only for like a month and didn't work at all the year before that. I made 15k in that one month tax free. I then had to pay 3000$..I mean you look at that and you think...Oh he made 15k he can afford 3k to the mafia.....but the reality of the situation was I was poor as fuck and that all went to debt lol so they basically just took all of a poor persons money..thats how I see it anyway..I was pretty much homeless....

Lol
Y'all bitching about taxes
Our net family income is over 100k a year
mine 2 just saying some examples. I have been all over the place from homeless to well off in my life. I don't believe any taxes are fair for anyone. I think taxes are violent theft .

i make good predictions. in my thread "obama's second term", i predicted he would come out in favor of gay marriage and seek to scale back the drug war.

my predictions came true, just a little sooner than i expected.

suck it, haters.:eyesmoke:
For someone who is nit picky on every little article, you didn't seem to read that one very carefully. LOL

Could you cite us a direct quote to Obama saying he will scale back the drug war in his 2nd term?

20 bucks says you read the title and instant gratification came upon you so you could post it on RIU

Best times of my life were when I was homeless
Lived in my car
Bathed at a swimming pool place, trial health club memberships
Ate at restaurants
Went to movies
Went to work everyday
All came to an end when the police rousted me at 3 in the morning wanting to know what i was doing sleeping in the back of a car

that is because you didn't pay throughout the year or worked contract?
That is my pension. I am not required to make quarterlies. I just did some quick checking and the limits have been changed. Last year I was $56 over the poverty line but this year I am $226 under the poverty line but I don't know what my taxes will be for this year.

I did much of that in my younger days, try it when you're 60 and let me know how much fun it is.

Ah, thanks man. I really appreciate that but I think I can handle it. That's why I moved here. I could not live anywhere in the US without assistance but here, I live a pretty good life.
My complaint is like yours. I'm not bitching about the amount, I'm pissed it's anything, at all, especially for someone so far down the scale. I mean they could eliminate income tax for everybody under 1M/yr and only charge them 1% and I'd still think it's wrong. Theft is wrong no matter who is doing it or why.
