Another year done.

katoranger · 01-29-2010, 06:10 PM

Just finished my 2009 taxes.

At least I didn't have to pay in this year.

I don't think Obama invented taxes? Or does it just make you feel like that to whoever is in the White House at the time?

Pay Your taxes, MIllions depend on You to feed the children You did not make

And As much as I would love to blame a modern president, Taxes and Pork were around long before any of them.

In Canada, a temporary income tax was introduced to fund the First World War.

It is fair to say that it has since become permanent. We're taxed to the gills; an average family with two kids pays 21.5% of household income vs. 11.9% in the USA.

Still, we're not Sweden. They're taxed at 42.4%. 8O

21.5% huh? Is that all?? I swear I feel like I pay 56% then when I go anywhere I have to pay more.. fuel, parking, taxes on my hydro bill my gas bill blah blah blah.. I want to opt out!!

With 3 kids and a wife in school I actually made out pretty well. I am sure Doc is in a different tax bracket and is actually supporting a few kids that don't belong to him. Obama tax increases will have more effect on him too.

So kinda get off topic, but that is okay. I just intended to say that i finished early this year. Never had them done this soon.

Actually, in Canada if you figure in sales tax, GST, and property taxes we're losing >40% of our income to taxes.

katoranger · 01-30-2010, 01:16 PM

I am no where close to that figure. Maybe 15%. I buy to much used stuff with no sales tax and property tax in my county in GA are low. My property taxes this year were $774. Of course I live in a shack on .67 acre.

Quite right. My example was only a reference to basic income tax.

I thought that was the case... When is "tax-free day" ?
