I read every post in this thread and this^^ is the only guy that gets it For those of you that have to pay at the end of the year, good for you too!
For those of you that got a refund shame on you! You gave the government money ALL YEAR LONG for free. Did you get interest back on your refunds? NO!

So you are implying that anyone in the US who makes less than 250k a year you are burdened by and responsible for? A very short-sighted view and why I am happy to be in Canada.
The funny thing is that there is a direct correlation between taxes and satisfaction. Those countries where taxes are upwards of 60 percent have very happy residents thanks to excellent social programs, universal health care, etc.
To each there own I guess.

Ha, I thought the 1% guy was trying to be funny
Rest assured, we have PLENTY of welfare bums (not implying that anybody who has benefited from the welfare system is a bum, only those who abuse it) and groups of people who don't contribute much to society.
If it wasn't for my in-laws living 5 minutes away and how big a part of my kids lives they are i'd be moving to Houston in a heart beat. I'd make more money, pay less taxes, and the housing market is like 50% the cost of here Best of all though you guys can keep your tracks open year round

I'm not going to get into a financial debate (even though this is one of my lines of work) but how does what you have posted make any sense? Commission or salary you still get taxes taken out, why let the government make interest off your dollar? You could be making the interest off your own money. Whatever though, it's your money not mine..

Yep, broke even this year as I did last year and the year before. I owe the State a tiny bit and the Fed owes me a tiny bit. For fun I put money in a hole in the backyard on a bi-weekly basis so that I can feel included when tax season rolls around LOL. I get my "refund" and I have the added benefit of not having earned any interest on that money...
I would like to invite any non-US citizens to come spend six months touring our most heavily government subsidized neighborhoods before giving their opinion on our taxes, citizens and government.

I'm 24 and one of thoea guys who paid in tons of taxes all year. But at the start of the year I decided to have a run in with the back of a stopped transfer truck on the side of the road because I had fallen asleep. I'm sure many I you may disagree with what I am about to say but I am excited to get my tax return seeing as I just come home from the hospital last weekend and since I won't be able to walk for the next year or so it will give me a little money to work on my rc cars and go to tracks that are handicap friendly/wheel chair ramps to the drivers stand. So in some since my tax return gives me the freedom that I wouldn't have because my workmans comp pays the bills.
