We would expect nothing less from a twit retard that followed in the footsteps of the krw retard and the Thompson retard. Good job of showing the world just how little manhood you really are in possession of, and how much you really do still lack.

Show me the facts and I'll change my mind. Ok, AtTheEndofMyRope, I would like to verify what the Tax Policy Center said about the percentage of families that pay federal taxes and how on average the lower 40% receive money back. It was reported very widely and I haven't seen any evidence refuting it. We can setup a senerio, if you don't like mine, make up your own. I'd like to use your personal numbers but you might not like to post them. (let me know) So, family of 4, two children. Standard deduction $11,400 (4) Personal Exemptions @ $3.650 ea. $14,600 So now we're at $26,000 and our taxable income is $0 Let's add another $10,000 so now we've earned $36,000. Now you owe $1,003 in taxes BUT, you are eligible for a $1,952 EIC plus a $400 "making work pay credit" Then $1,952 + $400 = $2,352. This is a credit against what you owe. $2,352 - $1,003 =$1,349 So you earned $36,000 and the government gave you $1,349. I'm no tax man and certainly there may be other advantages that a family with $36,000 of income could receive. I'd be happy to be corrected, either up or down, as this was a just a quick look at the tax forms. Mike Info from, http://www.moneybluebook.com/2009-federal-income-tax-brackets-official-irs-tax-rates/ and the 1040a tax instruction pamphlet. a.. Personal Exemption and Exemption For Dependents - Increased to $3,650 a.. Standard Deduction - The standard deduction increased to $11,400 Earned Income Tax Credit - Increased to $5,028 from $4,824 (up $204) for low and moderate income workers and working families with two or more children. The income qualification limit to take the earned income tax credit (EITC) for joint return filers with two or more children also increased to $43,415 from $41,646 (up $1,769).

Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken" Yet you can't even get the time right on your posts. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

Good. If he hangs around he'll have to sign up with a real NNTP provider. Most of them don't put up with morphing to evade kill-files.

It burns me that we have such a wealthy society and 47% of the people don't contribute, but they can vote to make 53% pay more. You can be sure that most of that 47% has color tv, cellphones, autos, electronic games, and plenty of McDonalds meals in their belly. Mike PS. we can make an exception for those that gave military service. Oh, and boo to Cox Communications. |
