I wrote/mailed tax checks today...

I’m not sure Musk cares one way or another about Trump’s access to Twitter, but one never knows what the oligarchs are up to these days.

The congress critters are worthless, you have that very correct. They all stay too long and leave multi-millionaires. It has never been about R vs. D, but us vs. them. I don’t pay attention to what they say, but what they actually do. Outside of a few wedge issues that are used to keep the tax slaves divided, there is marginal difference between the two parties.

This will be my parting shot, as it isn’t considered "polite company" to discuss politics in this country any longer... suffice it to say that we paid far too much throughout the year and then had to pony up even more come filing time.

I’ve always wondered what would happen if we flipped the income tax amounts. Pay our states and local municipalities what we pay the Feds, and pay the Feds what we do our states and local municipalities.

The cost of the U.S. government has doubled over the past 14 years... anyone feel like they’re getting their money’s worth? Are you twice as free?

Taxes, taxes...and more taxes!

You people outside of California have it easy.

We get hammered, then hammered some more AND we have to be mindful of EVERYTHING that comes out of our mouths because someone is gonna get offended and label you a HATER/AGITATOR!

I'm exaggerating a little bit, but not much.

That’s just the price you pay for living in Kalifornia…….

Don’t forget fellow US citizens, that your federal elected officials gave themselves a 21% raise this year. Remember that when you see the tax bill arrive.
