Happy Tax Day! - Michelle Crowe - 04-17-2007
While this may appear
to be one more feeble attempt
towards Super member status (and it is)
here is some food for thought
on this glorious day:
~
Americans today will pay in 1.3 trillion dollars to the IRS
~
$30 Million will be lost & never caught in tax preparation errors
~
Taxes were originated to pay off the Civil war fees, but were never enforced until 1913
(don't think we had a civil war that year)
~
President Bush filed yesterday reporting an income of $633,000.00
(none of which went towards dive gear)
and paid in $186,000 to the IRS
~
Dick Cheney filed last week reporting an income of 1.6 million, and actually is getting a $1000.00 refund check back because he overpaid throughout the 2006 year.
___________
Food for thought.
Guess I need to go
get started on my taxes.
Have a great day all of you.
~Happy Filing!

I heard recently if the average American income is $50K, they have to work until around the first week in April just to pay their taxes. The rest (9 1/2 months) they get to keep.
If your income is $500K per year, you have to work until some time in July. The rest (5 1/2 months) is yours to keep!
Back in the day of paying off the Civil War, as much as 90 cents on the dollar of taxes paid, went toward that.
I wonder how much we're paying for our current war?
Take it all with a grain of salt.

Ok..OK..ive had enough..these two are just posting silly stuff so they get to 100 posts..i am voting for a reduction in their total posts and a requirement that they post something with more substance......unless of course either of them would care to pay my taxes..then i could be very forgiving
Re: Happy Tax Day! - flyboy65 - 04-17-2007
Oh, how I DO agree! ;D ;D
Re: Happy Tax Day! - VintageDiverMN - 04-18-2007
