[3howards]

well, how much you pay is determined by how you filled out your w2 ... my husband pays more b/c he didin't include me or the baby. but come april, we get a nice return ... it's all in how you look at it.

[lein]

well here too

some countries they are lucky to pay 60% (!!)

[D-Frag]

yup, sucks a big one. Don't feel bad, could be worse, you could own your own company, pay double the social security tax, pay estimated taxes, plus a third of what I make goes to the IRS on top of all that. So yeah, this whole 'helping small businesses' thing is utter BS, I get not one single tax break.

Let's buy a tropical island somewhere and start a GDF consortium syndicate. An independent republic of graphic designers and pre-pressers where we won't pay taxes and everyone gets what they earn. We'll be the world's most powerful exporters of graphics, fonts, PS brushes and hard-copies of documents. And best of all, since it's a tropical island, it will be hot all the time and female GDFers will have no choice but to bare their boobies so that Defjoe and Magnus will finally be satisfied.

[D-Frag]

yeah, a third of 100% equals 30%, so im paying roughly what you are alek, thing is, im living off a very tight budget, cuz like some of us know, its very hard to start your own company and actually live off of it without a second job, i just wish the gov. would help me out a little more thats all. now that im paying estimated though I might actually get a return at the end of the year, which would be a first for me.

[alekdesign]

i didnt say i payed 33, i said thats considered low. I pay more than that. Using a table system atm so dont know my exact percentage. Have you tried to get some help from an econmist, there are probably tax deduction to be had from running your own company, but its not like they are gonna tell you about it. Gotta go searching for em. GL with that =)

I'm voting to chop all the hands off of the politicians who keep stealing from us in the myriad ways they do.

so gently put Magnus....you should run for President....

On this whole island thing.....Could we name it Boobie Island?

[defjoe]

I vote for Boobie Island...however I am the Booblord...ask D-zine...she will tell you.

Drorian... I agree with you on your points about welfare and people sponging off it. However I'm voting for Kerry. not really because I like him I'm voting AGAINST Bush cause I hate him. This is the weakest election since I have been able to vote. IMHO.

I'm writing in a person this year, you might know the name

Pat Buchanan

- Everyday, all the time, without fail!

[defjoe]

I want Jesse Ventura to run..he might in 08 but so with Rudy Gulianni (if bush wins)

and tha will be a tough decision for me.

I'm only voting Kerry cause i hate Bush so much and i feel a vote for Nader (or others) will benefit bush and I don't want that.

If you really knew me you would know this is a BIG decision for me cause i HATE president changes. Make me nervous. so for me to not vote for an incumbent president (which I have always have) is a BIG thing. I'd rather take a chance with an unknown then face another 4 years of what will most likely be worse then the past 4 years if Bush stays in office.

Too bad presidents couldn't be picked from the population based on merit.

that would be the RIGHT way to do stuff Magnus... this is the US.. very little is done right anymore here.

[uncle carbunkle]

naw! you can have whoever you want as president. as long as, if there's an altercation with another country, they've got to go in there and duke it out themselves - gladiator stylee. oh, AND there's a pre-requesite iq test before you can even step into the white house.

I think you're on to something. I'd give anything to see Bush vs. Saddam in a bare knuckles brawl. No WMD, no armies, no guns. Just two jackasses duking it out.
