No, you stupid cunt, I’ve mentioned state, local, Federal, sales, social security and ALL TAXES. Stick a sock in it, you jacked up little tart, we’ve heard your tune before and it doesn’t get better with repetition. I’m not publishing my tax return to satisfy a nasty, pox-laden shithead such as yourself. You aren’t entitled to that level of detail about ANYONE’s life here.
To be fair, though, it hasn’t really been a year of them being able to get the boxes. There was an article several months back warning people not to send for them too soon, because the non-replacable coupons were only good for 90 days, and they were being issued long before the boxes actually hit the market. I don’t think I saw a box in the store before the end of the summer, did you?
There have been digital boxes available at Best Buy for about 2.5 years.
Got it. You’re not paying any federal income taxes at all, but you won’t admit it. And you pay all these other taxes, and by golly, you feel entitled. To paraphrase you, why shouldn’t you take advantage of a benefit that is offered, and oh, NEENER NEENER to those that are paying for it.
You are a piece of work.
Where the FUCK did you get the idea I somehow DON’T pay Federal taxes. You fucking dumb cunt, NOW you’re accusing me of breaking the law?
Yes, I goddamned paid Federal taxes - NOT just social security but regular Federal income tax - in 2007. I have already had Federal income taxes withheld from both my unemployment benefits AND from a part time job I held in 2008.
YOU GODDAMN FUCKING JACKED UP CUNT, HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF BREAKING THE LAW YOU PIECE OF SHIT ASSWIPE?!
Seriously, where the FUCK did you get the idea I don’t pay Federal income tax? Go to fucking hell you diseased goat-felching whore. You are fucking out of line to accuse me of being a criminal. Who the FUCK do you think you are, bitch? Don’t EVER accuse me of being a criminal again you piece of shit unless you can damn well back it up. What a repulsive, disgusting, evil, vindictive shithead you are. How did you get to be so vile, do you lick Satan’s ashtray when you wake up in the morning or something?
Carol, did you notice the word “Federal” in the post you quoted?
Anyway, this thread is a lot less fun now that we’re yelling at each other about taxes. We can do that anytime; how often do we get to yell at each other about delaying the digital changover?
Some 33% of Americans pay no federal income tax at all. Based on the fact that your 2008 income consisted of unemployment benefits and a part-time job, it’s likely you are in that group.
Dial it back a notch, woman.
FUCK you bitch - you accused of being a tax cheat you piece of shit. I don’t have to “dial it back a notch”. YOU need to stop accusing people of committing felonies with no proof whatsoever, fuckstick.
And, again - you CLEARLY missed the fact that Federal income tax has already been withheld from both those unemployment benefits and the income from the part time job. You also clearly blew past the fact that in addition to those jobs I have ALSO been working as an independent contractor. How much - if any - of the withheld tax I will get back remains to be seen. YOU certainly don’t know that number, shit-for-brains.
I’m poor, not dishonest. Unlike you, you slimeball.
You amaze me. Obama is a lawyer. He had to wade through the cesspool of Chicago politics. You really think he is that naive? Your list sounds like the answer to the old job interview question (What is your worst fault? Well gosh darn sometimes I just work too hard). If he really is that naive we need a new president. This one is too soft for the job.
Pats Carol on the head I hate to break the news to you, dear, but the Social Security Lock Box is like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. It doesn’t actually exist. (If you hadn’t heard the bad news about those last two… well, consider two more apologies offered.) The federal government collects Social Security taxes, and immediately spends the money for whatever it is they’re buying at the moment… tanks, cheese, uniforms, office space, converter boxes, whatever.
Withheld does not equal paid, dear.
Y’know, I’ve spent this whole thread being fairly disgusted with Broomstick, but you’re really climbing the charts.
First you refused to accept that the second “2007” in her post was a typo, and now you refuse to accept that she has to pay taxes for last year.
If she made more than about $9,000 last year, she pays at least $1 in federal income tax. Since she stated that she had income from unemployment, a part-time job, and some 1099 jobs, I think the chances are pretty good that she’ll be taxed.
I see no reason to doubt this, and - other than personal antagonism - I don’t see why you should doubt it either.
I’m not convinced that is the case. It was brought up during the campaign that some 33-35% of Americans don’t pay any federal income tax at all, and that percentage would increase to 37-39% under both Obama’s and McCain’s plans.
It simply can’t be true that 33% of Americans make < $9000/yr.
By whom? Perhaps they were using your, uh, “conservative” definition of paying, which for some inexplicable reason does not include payroll withholdings.
By both campaigns, including the public, mainstream discussion thereof. And federal income tax withholding is STILL not paying taxes.
Well, no, I don’t buy that either, which makes me doubt that “33% don’t pay tax” is accurate. 33% including people (including children) with no income - maybe. (Yes, I know there is EIC. I don’t know how many filers EIC turns from tax due to a tax credit.)
The personal exemption for a single person on FIT is $3,500; the standard deduction (in lieu of itemization) is $5,450. So a single person with only those deductions who makes between $8,950 and 8,965 owes one dollar in tax.
I’m not going to calc Broomstick’s figures, since I don’t know them - and neither do you! - but if we assume that she is filing married jointly with no dependents, we can double the above numbers.
Both of those numbers are below a full time job at minimum wage. I have to assume that her income is above that - or, well, shit, she’d be working at McDonalds already.
I’ll look for some cites, but it won’t be until tomorrow. Getting late and all.
OK. Appreciate it, in advance.
Haven’t had a chance to go through it, but these may be the numbers Carol is citing.
Thanks. That indicates that children are included in the count.
