Do you Pay enough Taxes??

Tweet

Maybe you laughed at this question. I almost put it under the Humor topic but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Seriously. We have people here in America and I am sure in other countries who vote for people who Promise to raise their taxes. We have a Vice President now who said during the campaign that Paying taxes is Patriotic! So I guess the more taxes you pay the bigger Patriot you are. I remember that when GWBush was trying to get his tax cuts passed, Garry Trudeau, author of the "Doonesbury" comic wrote a strip with a Jr High school teacher telling his class that the Republicans were "Afraid" to raise taxes. Nana nana nana. Recently when Rush Limbaugh said he was leaving New York for good because of yet another tax hike, The Governor of that state said that if he had known it would make Rush Leave he would have raised them sooner. Now I have heard some Moronic statements come from the mouths of Politicians before but let's just say, I'm glad this guy isn't MY Governor. New Yorkers pay as much as 55% of there earnings to Federal, State and Local Taxes. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/02/paterson-bids-rush-limbaugh-farewell/ And since when does The NYT use Thehuffingtonpost as a source? Especially when they can always go to Limbaughs' website and cut/paste the transcript right from the show. Anyway. Over the weekend I read in a free weekly paper (you know, The ones that have actual journalists working for them) A list of taxes that we in America pay. He listed 45 Different taxes. And you might think "Well certainly I don't pay all of those taxes." Oh yes you do, amigo. Well actually if you are here illegally then you would be exempt. These taxes are built in to the prices we pay for goods and services we use everyday. They are also subtracted from the pay we receive for the work we do. Here are some highlights from this list. feel free to pass it on.(Actually, I decided to type out the entire list.)
