You could buy a second home, take out a home equity loan, and go back to school on borrowed loans -- claiming all that interest you pay as tax deductions.

Or you could both quit your jobs, go on welfare, move into a HUD home, buy a big-screen TV and let your neighbors (via their taxes) pay to have your grass cut.

The next time some guy (let's not mention any names here) proposes to spend another $30 billion on some dum bass program, recognize that it's going to come out of someone's pocket book that looks quite a bit like, say, you!

It's called theft. And there is not a thing any of us can do about it. Just bend over and take it.

It does no good to fume, but I do anyway.

It sucks being you. Working hard to make a living amongst all those liberal chuckleheads in the teachers unions, who love to vote for higher taxes. How can you stand it???

How many FRs net $95,000 after tax of 25%?

Somehow I can't summon the tears.

Call Tucobad to spank you for overachieving.

Sounds like you are smart, hardworking, and productive.

As punishment, you get your own welfare mom to support.

WOW! My wife and I have 8 kids and one income. Our total is around 57K and we paid about 3K in taxes. We expect to get it all back, again, plus another 3K in child tax credits.

Do you pay FICA tax? Nearly 7 million government workers, many of them teachers, do not.

You could start be trying to convince your fellow teachers to restrain their urges to vote for Democrats and those damnable increases in the NEA budget.

I'm poor.

I don't pay taxes.

I might as well stay poor. I can't afford to get rich.

Nah, just try living within your means. It works for us and, with only one of us bringing home the bacon, we're not even as rich as you.

My wife and I are both public school teachers.

I'll bet your union has had a lot to do with people in your situation being characterized as rich -- therefore evil -- therefore properly taxed heavily as a way to share their wealth.

Boo f'ing Hoo.. my family exists on 20,000 a year, with no help from the government (we don't believe in it), and we do fine. Go peddle your sob story somewhere else, We'd live like kings on your salary, even with the 25 grand you pay in taxes.

Just remember Daschle and Gephardt know how your money should be spent: Just once every American should take a look at all the taxes they pay: Income fed, state, local, sales taxes on most of what they spend, property taxes, fuel taxes, sin taxes, and finally for some taxes when they die. Oh well remember most of it is spent on programs that don't work.
