Something seems odd that the states and feds extort the money from people then complain about having to make refunds on that which was illegally gotten.
Our system is broken. Pray that November brings a clean crop of congressmen, and that they repeal the 16th amendment, install the Fair Tax, and repeal all these spending bills. This upping the ante on tax to cover their spending has to stop.
I have noticed in Ca new taxes and surcharges appearing out of nowhere, whith no fanfare about tax increases. For example, I got a City parking ticket in December and 10 dollars was added to it as a state surcharge. Then yesterday I looked at my City utility bill and noticed new utility tax that is designated to go to the CA general fund, I had not seen that before.
They will get their new taxes by hook or crook, secretly with small increases in obscure areas so that people won’t take much notice as they would with a sales or income tax increase. Scoundrels, thieves, corrupt politicans to the core.
Tar, feathers, rope and guillotines, are apparently the only things that are going to put a stop to this.
Good point.
We don’t need “healthcare reform” (socialist medicine) to help the economy.
What we need is tax reform.
“Pray that November brings a clean crop of congressmen, and that they repeal the 16th amendment, install the Fair Tax...”
I’m not sure if we’re *that* desperate...YET. We need to be - we’re in VERY bad shape financially.
This is why I have my withholding set so low that I always have to pay up in April.
This year I ‘owed’ $1600. But at least I had the use of all my money for the year... and the government was left wanting.
