You seem to miss the entire point and have no concept of what America was founded on and how it has been corrupted. I paid over $30,000 to the federal government last year. I got laid off. If I'm lucky I may make a total of $25,000 this year. If I don't pay $10,000 of that meager amount to the federal government for more taxes they say I owe from last year I just may go to jail. Add in the taxes they plan to take from me this year.
I'll be damned if I let my children go hungry to satisfy the like of you or this "American" government. BTW, less than $4,000 of the $40,000 I supposedly owe for last year will actually be used to benefit "the poor". Most of the rest is eaten up by the beaurocracy with maybe $6,000 going to the purposes our government should be responsible for.
If I had known what you were going through, I would have written differently. My point was just that Jefferson,
$107,000 in debt, was no stranger to financial worries and tax troubles.
I sympathize with your problems. I hope everything works out for you and your family.
