When I used to do shutdowns, Average tax I paid for 2 weeks was around $2500-3000. Thank god I am getting to old for that many hrs......Oh wait, I still pay about that with my Electricians pay, and my Powdercoat buisness income

When your complaining that your tax bill is larger than my net paycheck, I have absolutely zero sympathy for you.

That's a little harsh. Do you think we should all earn the same, regardless of what we do, how hard we work, or what or level of education is?

Certainly not, but someone who is obviously making a substantial income should not be complaining about paying their taxes. I'm certain they still have lots of after tax dollars left over to spend, probably lots left after paying all the bills too. Why should I have sympathy for them?

It all depends on how they got them dolars. maybe they put in twice the hrs that you do? Harder work?

Taxes are a nessicarry evil, yes. But we, the average Joe worker, are taxed to death. Yet corporations, the ones who can afford to pay, get huge tax cuts. makes no sence to me
