What a Wonderful Morning

Well, I just micturated away $58,868.13 into the loving arms of the
state and feds this morning... Now where are those fat cat deductions
that allow me to pay zero, that all the rabble rousers keep bringing
up?

Be grateful that you make enough to have to pay almost 59 thousand dollars.

That is more than my gross pay for the year.

Sorry, but I don't feel much pity for you.

I do...because I hope to be making that much money one day, and the ides of
giving that much of it to the government to waste irritates me no end.

Can't say I care much one way or the other how much you make Jay, as long as
you are scrupulously honest about it. I would gladly pay MORE than I do now
if the gov't would apply the same care to their spending as I do. I believe
heavily in supporting my fellow man, without the assistance of a fictional
god, and the gov't is the best tool I have to do that, but they're all
frigged up. They pay themselves first, their buddies second, their
supporters third, and the people who really need it last.

Jim,
Our combined federal & state taxes take at least 40% of our gross
income. However when I look at the total amount, I try to see it as
the glass half full since the average American worker makes less than
what we pay in taxes.
I noticed that the start of this 'off-topic' thread is posted at
the rec.aviation.owning group. One does not need to be a fat cat but
has to be a pretty well-fed cat to afford owning a plane. At the
current avgas cost of over $5/gal, the $300 tax rebate amounts to no
more than 60 gallons of 100ll. Dividing this amount to the typical
fuel consumption of 10 to 15 GPH, this comes out to be only 4 to 6
hours of flight time. The cutoff income limit for the $300 rebate is
$174K so the max rebate comes out to be a tiny fraction (0.0017) of
this max income. I'd bet that many American taxpayers would rather
to have this kind of income than to get the rebate ;-)

Gratitude, or anything to be grateful for, has nothing to do with it -
ABILITY AND PERFORMANCE does.

Gee...I wonder why?

Neither have many of us for you. You, like most, are right where they want
to be.

I am doing something that is very important for a continued healthy society.
I train workers so that people like you can exploit them, and become
wealthy.

Borrow, you are a pompus ass. I hope your wealth comforts you in the life
hereafter.

So you are happy doing what you are doing. You've choosen a rewarding
career vs. something that pays more. So why do you consider it an
insult when Matt points that out???

Yeah, you've shown your intellect level: PUNK.

Most people outgrow tendancies toward envy when reach puberty. When it
continues into adulthood, it produces all sorts of disorders.

It's BARROW, numbskull.

Especially since he came off as such a snotnose to Denny.

I estimate Morgans is one of those that Thomas Sowell pointed out as "the
bottom 25%", so he's doing better than he normally would in the work-a-day
world.

The cementhead can't grasp the having a HOME is pretty crucial, too.

At least I get all my income in arms-length, freely chosen trade, not
coerced at proxy gunpoint like you, you POS thug!

No, if it wasn't for the armed tax man, you've be living under a bridge.

A builder breakin' 'em off on a shop teacher about his salary.

How ironic is that?
