--that has a problem with Turbotax?
--quit reading at that line---
Not surprising but disturbing.
Geithner - one word....Useless!!! This guy should be sweeping out a bank and cleaning the toilets during the night, not heading the Treasury. What a wasted human being!!!
What we need is a good old-fashioned tax revolt - with pitchforks. Don’t like taxes? Let’s all take a tax holiday next year until these bumblers are gone.
FWIW the Government Accountability Office routinely issues reports on cases of massive government waste, mismanagement and inefficiency. The media rarely, if ever, shows any interest in these publicly available reports or in holding agencies accountable for how they spend (i.e., waste) tax dollars.
I read that as sarcasm by the author
Yesterday, Victor Davis Hanson said they don’t want to entirely kill the US as a nation. Rather, they are parasites whose goal is to just barely keep the host alive because they would die without it. That is an apt description.
Too late Geithner. I closed my business after ten years last month. Now all my profits won’t belong to the Fed or the State!
Go pound sand!
What TImmy hasn’t figured out is that many taxpayers are indeed like sheep. You can clip the wool off of them once a year, shear them to the skin, and they’ll even be grateful, but you can only skin them once.
how can the gov’t get more tax revenue?
increasing taxes wont’ do it... since they’re in all transactions already. all the money passes through their hands before getting pushed back into the economy.
the only way to get more tax money would be... to get more money coming INTO the country.
to get more money INTO the country, drop taxes. this will spur domestic businesses... which in turn may produce products foreign countries need.
of course, following this will result in the country becoming less weak (don’t want to say strong, as we’re a long way from that)... which would be counter to the intentions of the progressives.. past & present
One, two, three, four...
Hrmm!
One, two, (one, two, three, four!)
Let me tell you how it will be;
There’s one for you, nineteen for me.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t take it all.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
(if you drive a car, car;) - I’ll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I’ll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I’ll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I’ll tax your feet.
Taxman!
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Don’t ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson
If you don’t want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister heath)
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
And you’re working for no one but me.
Taxman!
It's also the engine of anti-communism - which, to our current ruling class, makes it something to be feared and destroyed.
Timmy boy wants all of us work for the executive elite that run the big corporations and be under their yoke versus having our own business and have more freedom to make our own decisions for our lives.
“Geithner – capable, bright, energetic technician that he is “
That statement is belied by every statement before it.
End payroll tax deductions, and deductions for union dues. Make EVERYONE write a check to the irs every quarter, and monthly checks to their unions. People don’t even know how much they actually make! They think in terms of “take home” pay. Best way to educate them is to make them actually have to pay!
Those of us who are self employed already write quarterly checks. No union dues!
“Those of us who are self employed “
Eggs Ackley! You and I, and other self-employed understand. Most people with payroll tax deductions do not. And they eagerly await the refunds every year!
Can you point me to where VDH said that...the article...I’d like to read it. Thx
