Now, you classified yourself as being above the poverty level. You also mentioned that you took $2,000 from the government last year rather than paying them anything.
Surely you're not going to sit there and tell me that that was the intention when the tax code was written. Sure, it works out great for you, but SOMEONE's gotta take up the burden. As you mentioned, it's gonna be a middle class guy because the rich (and apparantly you) have either the knowledge or the ability to hire someone with the knowledge to sluff their tax burden off on someone else.
That is bullshit, and that's where the tax reform needs to start. Close the loopholes so that at the very least the government is not paying people at tax time.

Agreed, well put Shakran

Yeah and I'm sure all "good" accountants are the same price. Pay 200 to save 300 or 400, that's great and plus the gas it took me to get there, and time off work and so on and so on, suddenly the cost is over 200.

So now the middle class is dumb sorry "pretty fucking dumb about money", well at least the middle class can stick to one road in an argument, I mean you are balancing so much on the fence that I'm waiting until you fall to one side or the other to get more involved in this thread.
