So who here still thinks the Stimulus was a good idea because you're stupid

[mrsleeve]

No, I was wondering if the current accountant you are using made the 4,300 mistake. Or were you doing it yourself? I am leaning towards the latter from the first statement.

You are the guy that runs piping and such correct? You have been to shitty Binghamton correct?

I don't get into politics because there is nothing more you can do than vote or email and complain.

Yup Pipeliner here, yes spent much of 08 in Binghamton at the supper 8 on old front street, prolly one of the best pipeliner friendly hotels I have ever been in.

NO I have never done my own taxes.

Yeah, you get into that zone with overtime, it's the withholding part of income taxes, which is determined by the # of allowances you claim, as well as how much your normal paycheck is compared to how much it is when you've got OT on it.

So your facts as originally posted were wrong. Now tell joshh to eat a dick.

Not really, the reasoning that was given to me, was that No matter what (my W4 is 0+ 20 bucks normaly) I didnt have enough deductions to the tune of 25.36 to lower my liabilities and as a resulting tax bracket had to pay much more than other wise would have. Thats as it was explained to me, I dont argue with the guy that normally gets me several 1000's back every year.

He made money off of you guys. He drives a Lambo and a 911 turbo. But you still did not answer my question.

Do you still use the accountant that made the 4,300 mistake? And do you get a discount if you buy him depends and ensure?

A MISTAKE WAS NOT MADE, You really think I did not have some one else look at it????

No hes a really nice guy still lives on his family farm and last I knew drove a 2002 f250, and his wife had Taurus or some thing like that.

Oh, you just mentioned a mistake.

Last part was random, what does his shitty cars have to do with anything? Oh, while we are randomly talking about strangers cars...my neighbor has a '09 GT 500 with a supercharger and shelby suspension.

So, you've never done your own taxes, yet you'll try to argue with me when I pointed out how wrong your original statement was. Jesus Christ.

Again I pay a professional to do my taxes TO AVOID ISSUES. My taxes involve 10,000's in travel expenses, Mutupil states of employment and some times as many as 4-5 employers the shit is complicated.

Free markets work pretty well.

What is happening today is the result of some bad ideas on the side of the free market (CDO's, CDS's, lending practices) and now our worthless Government failing daily to do anything remotely worthwhile to help business and the middle class.

[joshh]

I'll be giving my accountant a call tomorrow. If I'm wrong I will concede.
But from memory it's just not that simple.

I saw the post you deleted ;)

[uofom3]

Last I checked you're not taxed at your highest tax bracket on every dollar you make. You do not take home less, ultimately, for making more even what you go up a bracket.

That said - taxing higher wage earners more does not help anyone.

I saw the post you deleted ;)

Yes well I may have put my own foot in my mouth...so before entering my entire leg there, I want to make sure.

[z31maniac]

Manic: If you get a smaller pay increase that puts you into the next tax bracket, You can make more and take home LESS, because of the extra taxation.

It seems as though you guys are mistaking your tax refunds for the pay you make over the entire year.

In Oct 08 I took a new job with 35% pay increase. It bumped me up a tax bracket and I did pay significantly more in taxes, but my take home pay also drastically improved.

I would really like to see this "hypothetical" situation where you get a raise but take home less money.

Just like joshh's intellectual honesty, you wont find it.

BWHAHAHAHA yeah after I admit I may be wrong.
I know you're butt hurt because you can't usually defend yourself any better than the rest of the retarded liberal here so I only expect that of you.

You mean how I completely defended my statements and you've yet to admit you were wrong to attack me over it? I'm sorry I can't use logical fallacies for all my arguments
