Paycheck !!!!

I'm just as mad as the next person but I wouldn't be complaining much if I made enough money to lose $7000 a year due to the tax increase! I hate giving those thieves in Washington anything!

$7k is still $7k. The guy giving $7k to those thieves has even more reason to be complaining than the guy giving less IMO.

Alot of lazy folks need your hard earned money more than you do....stop being selfish!

I love a good pay cut!!! Especially when the price of milk, eggs, gas, and rent are all going up

Yes. They pay taxes on their income. And they have several sources of income. Most are lawyers, so they have law firm money, investment money and if they sit on a board of directors they have money from that too. And why do you think there is such a big deal during an election cycle about how many years of tax returns are released by a candidate?

There is not one single person in either house of congress that would be considered blue collar by any standard. They are all pretty much independently wealthy, and do everything possible to protect that. And all I can say is that maybe if we had studied harder in college, we could also be there living the good life.
But all I got is what I got, and that is what i deal with every day. Try not to live outside my means, whatever that may be. Raise my kids to be a productive part of society. And hope I get to see the sun rise tomorrow. Other than that, my life is too short to get so mad about this kinda stuff all the time. It'll give ya ulcers!

So, if they do pay taxes on their income, and they have so many sources of income, then the tax rate increase on those making more than $250,000 should be in effect for them. Are you that naive that you think it will apply to them? I doubt it will, and if it does, they will try to find a place, overseas, to put their money, so they are not taxed on it.

Seriously, did you just say that? Do you know how hard I studied in college? I studied pretty **** hard, and chose a profession that I love doing. I didnt want to be in politics and I dont have the money to be in politics. But I do know that I could do just as bad of a job as the elected officials, but I know I could do better.

And I agree with all the stuff you said, later in your statement, and I try to do those same things. But I do get ****** off about it and it does **** me off when I am struggling to do just that. It is hard to live within your means, and it is harder when you have less and less money coming in. I sure as **** dont want to go into debt, and I sure dont want to go into debt buying the things that I have to have and that my kids have to have to survive. And dont kid yourself, the way things are going, that might just happen to a lot of people.

And I am ****** off that they are taking my money and giving it to lazy people, with 7 kids, and who drive an expensive car that they cannot afford. I am ****** that they are taking it from my kids and giving to others. So, while it probably does my blood pressure no good to get so mad about it, I am still ****** about it.

Paycheck !!!!

If this was actually going to be used to pay off the National debt I wouldn't be so angry about it but we will continue to stack on to the national debt and now pay in more then I already did. Makes me furious knowing I'm paying for even more Obama phones and food stamps now while those people continue to sit on their lazy butts

I am not kidding myself about anything. And please answer this question honestly. Does you getting mad and affecting your health and blood pressure change anything?

We had a chance to make things different and we blew it. No one to blame but ourselves really. Because if enough people could have been swayed to change their votes, then the outcome could have been different. But we didn't, so here we are. Doing what we have to do to survive. You survived the last four and I am pretty sure you will survive these four also.

Remember that during the bush presidency your tax rate was the same as it is now, and you made it work.

Paycheck !!!!

This thread has gone senseless and silly..

[Traildust]

Dang, I heard they are raising the tax on pea gravel too

[SteveBradbery]

for a 2% tax difference to be making that big of a difference on yalls pay yall must be making a LOT of money - mine only went down $44/month with the reverting of the tax by 2%

Thats what I was thinking... Down about $110 a month here.

LOL. You just made my day! Thanks.

Well I just opened my direct deposit statement. I also just sent an e-mail to our payroll department asking why my SS withholding almost doubled from one paycheck to the next. The withholding was $27 more than 6.2% of my gross. It's bad enough to lose the extra 2% but I was expecting that. I wasn't expecting the withholding to go over 6.2%

No, we didn't blow it, people in Liberal states blew it, Unions blew it, welfare recipients blew it, people who choose to live on unemployment rather than find ANY job blew it. I had nothing to do with it. My kids will suffer the consequence(sp) for it.
