Anything to make my life easier I'm all for. :)
I'm with you on thaty one!
I prefer to be efficient ("intelligently lazy")
I once read the difference between a politician and a statesman is the politician looks to the next election, the statesman to the next generation.
There you go -- & businessowners are like this, too -- there are true entrepreneurs, & then there are venture capitalists.. .
I am currently double dipping. I am on SS and working.
It's not "doubledipping" per se, if you're within the defined caps & other parameters.
They go after us with a vewnmgrerance for collecting earned moneyt along with government m,omney,. but these same gungho hunters, retire to do the same, working 2 or more government fluff jobs simultaneously, with a 6-figure "golden parachute" for each.
With Social Security one can earn extra money with a cap, go over that
and the feds take it.
Samewith our types of income assistance (social programs)
I was talking with some of the cops at work the other day and said that
"Big Daddy" (my nickname for the owner, whom they know, who is a cop in a nearby town) is looking out for us by paying very little so this doesn't happen. :)
I'm not sure what the cap is but I'm under it.
Oh, me, too, but I declare when asked to. . .
I don't pay taxes -- I collect them -- much better, from my point of view. . .
I pay some taxes; just not income taxes. . .
So you get taxed by akll 3 levels of goverbment?!
And not just that.
Say you buy a car or house. You are taxed first for the car/house. Then each year you are taxed on it again as personal property.
I thought the big dea;l in the US was they can't tax wealth (property)?!
Oh, that's only for the wealthy, not for average Joes, eh?
Plus in WV a car is considered a luxury, and there is a luxury tax.
Bloody hell!
Even here, your first car is considered a necessity, not a luxury, unless it's worth over $80K or some thing. . .
Even people on welfare can own a home & car, but I think total value at used selling prices must be under $100K.
Cities in WV are not allowed to have a city tax, per se.
They get around this by having "business and occupation" taxes. These
are passed on to the consumer and such things as a gas or electric bill will list this, that and the other tax (fed/state) and list the B&O tax as well.
They have as many loopholes as they need to do as they please. .
Them & their wealthy buddies. . .
Oh, and WV also taxes one unemployment money when drawn on. Money one
has already been taxed on as well.
Ditto here -- ludicrous, but established fact now.
My brother had evidencde that the income tax & fecdferal sales taxes were illegasl, so he refused to pay them when he could (like only paying the perecentage of gas price that didn't include federal direct taxes); several gas statiojns called the co9ps & my brother would stand his grond & ask them under which statute they were going to arrest him for & were they sure they had a legal sdtanding to do so -- btw, here's a copy of our Constitution, by which all laws must comply.
I believe your federal income tax is also illegal, but under a defintion of "person" & they are not taxing according to legally allowable methods of defining you.
