***NFB***: Federal tax

[LS1 TA]

So I was just looking at my check stub for the week and I've already been jacked for $1800 in federal taxes. At this rate it'll be over $4000 at the end of the year.

Much of that can be adjusted through your employer. Just have them take less out every week. Of course, you'll get less back or have to pay at the end of the year, but it depends on when you need the cash most.

Ya I suck at saving money so I have them take out an extra $20 a week. Plus I'm young and single with no kids.

I have an extra 2% taken out every paycheck (twice a month) so I have a decent refund in April to buy something for myself. This year it was the T/A

Next year, maybe a better beater car.

I was never politically active in any sort of way, sure I went and voted, but never really looked much into the candidates, or propositions, or issues. Between the family, job, and other important stuff like wrenching, hunting and fishing, I just never took the time to get involved.

Well, back in 1992 a good friend of mine was trying to convince me who to vote for and some isssues at the time that would (and have) effect us all. Finally in his efforts to convince me, he made me take out my check stub and really look at all the deductions that came out of the money I was making. One third of it was taken by the government (Feds and state). Sure it was only a few hundred per check, but by the month it was into a thousand, and then by the end of the year it was real thousands!

We are being forced into paying taxes to fund our government, we sure need to keep a eye on where our money is going. We spend time on this forum to save a few hundred bucks on a repair or upgrade, how much time do you spend watching the thousands of your dollars the government takes from you? Anywhere near the time you spend here?

Ha...... be glad. There have been many years that the federal income tax that I paid for a year was more than some made total in an entire year. That really bites.

Yeah, it could be worse. My wife works for an accounting firm. She has told me about farmers coming in to drop off a check for what they owe for the past year's taxes......some of them were in the 100's of thousands. Some of the smaller amounts were like 15-20 thousand. At least our government tends to do good stuff with the money ( with a fair share of BS stuff ) but the Canadian gov't just seems to always be mis-appropriating funds and crap. I would rather be paying my taxes to the US gov't right now.

I'm sure they would gladly oblige...
