My wife and I are both public school teachers. We both teach additional day and after school classes. We both teach summer school and I have another job as a security guard. Combined total we earned @ $119,000 in 2001. IRS has already taken @ $19,000. It looks like they want another $ 3-5,000 on 4-15-02.
I also forgot to point out that Galt's Gulch
was not a "Simpler Life" as most might
assume.
It was simple because the producers no
longer had to put up with the envious
users that wished to destroy them.
It was intended to be an enclave to carry
humanity beyond the New Dark Age in much
the same way that the early monastic orders
patiently copied their illuminated manuscripts
for the future benefit of civilization.
For this reason alone I have no respect for you. You deserve the IRS. You are one in the same.
I was really just kidding around, but honestly, you do not see the irony in a public school teacher bitchin' about the IRS??? What the heck is this website all about anyway?? Don't you even know why you are here? Come on, It's funny if you think about it!!
Sweet Jesus, I pray this is a joke.
I am proud of my daughter. She teaches inner-city kids whose families have been moved en masse to her area. She really cares about them, too, and tries to inspire them to overcome their disadvantages. So when I keep seeing stupid remarks about teachers, it really makes me sad.
Please read more carefully, these government workers pay no taxes, or very damn little. So, no taxes, and as a bonus, no productive work.
P.S. Thanks for the "job" on our kids.
Well, T.S.
O.K. I am no longer kidding around. Seriously, If you work for the public school system, you are part of the problem, not the solution. If you work for the public school system, your job ought not to exist, you are just bloodsucking my money for communist purposes. No "kidding" at all!!
Do you realize what you just said? Since you and your wife are public school teachers you send your own children to private school.
As far as your taxes, you have my deepest sympathy. I would suggest consulting with a professional. Take out a mortgage, give more to charity, buy an income property--these are some ways to cut your taxes, although not all are risk-free. It is our patriotic duty to deny government as much money as possible. Aggressive tax avoidance is one way. There are many perfectly legal ways to send less of your money to Washington and you should explore them all, preferably with a professional. There is absolutely no reason you should be paying that much in tax.
My children are college-educated professionals who went through the public school system first. They are doing well. They also have fine, stable families. I think you are just jealous. When was the last time YOU went to the slopes?
What !!??!! You say?? Move to the blue zone??!!??
Yes. I recommend this. You see, you are sheltered!. I was sheltered once. My area of America was sheltered. OUR public schools were "O.K." "WE" didn't have ""New York" problems. Therefore government schools were legitimite in my eyes. It was O.K. to have Gov't schols as long as our local schol board was "conservative".
Well you know what??? MY FOOT!!!!
Thank God that I am temporarily living in the Northeast. It has been a revelation!! I might have never realized how demonic gov't schools are.
Please start thinking OBJECTIVELY!!. Please think philisophically, not pragmatically.
Ah yes the rest of us are subsidizing your family. Look at all the school taxes that will have to be collected to educate those babes too! I can't imagine why those that use less resources have to subsidize those that use more. Another flaw like the graduated tax. Maybe it's to buy more votes down the line...What happens when there becomes more takers than givers? At what point should tax credits/welfare become a disincentive for having more mouths to feed? Ever hear of birth control or is it against your religion?
Well...it was a thick, thick, spread it like peanut butter message of a book. Forgive me. I liked it too. My favorite character was the pirate.
When the idiots in power decide to submerge civilization for the sake of their selfish, grasping, corrupt, inept, and pointless bureaucratic self-interest, perhaps we can give libertarian feudalism a go...
Then our only recourse - if the human race is to survive - is for the productive people; the entreprenuers; the small business owners; the hard-working employees; THE PRODUCERS OF EARTH - TO STOP PRODUCING and/or contributing to the survival of the parasites.
Ayn Rands prophecy is coming true before our eyes.
Are you aware that the number of US adults who receive money from the government (via whatever manner) now outnumber those who do NOT receive any money from the government by between 2-to-1 and 5-to-1 (it depends on the numbers you choose to use / believe)?
Just as communism / socialism collapsed in the Soviet Union, so will 'socialism-light' collapse in the US / Europe / elsewhere. Witness Argentina. It's only a (short) matter of time.
(Re)Read Atlas Shrugged and draw your own conclusions.
No, you're just a Dick </kidding>
Has anyone considered the glass may just be too big ? Live well, live within your means and if ya can't work harder and spend less.
Sorry D1.....just my oh early thirty AM frugal rant ! Stay Safe !
