Are you self employed?
Of not, you should only be paying about $70.00 in SS monthly, and zero in fed income taxes (or getting it all back at the end).
If you’re self employed, then double the SS amount. That’s still not $300.00. Are your figures right?
As far as MR, I have no use for him, but I support his (or anyone’s) absolute right to pay only taxes actually owed. If he paid more, that would be cause for a mental exam. :-)
Now, if he proposes raising your taxes while keeping his low, then F him.
I’m a private contractor for tax purposes. So yes I’m ‘self-employed’.
Seeing as my refund hasn’t shown up, then yes, I’m paying effectively 15 percent, which is the same as Romney.
