Pretty rough ridin' shady. And kinda goes hand in hand with the rule that asylum seekers must remain in Mexico.

I don't want to brag that I pay less taxes than everyone here because I think you all make a lot more and have fewer kids.

that's a big part of why i don't like using the agi/fit % that _w suggested.  like the money i derive economic benefit from bears only a weak relationship with the agi number.

i do recognize that deferred income is not yet taxed, so it is consistent to not include it.  but still.  and there's no rationale for not using a number that's pre exemptions/deductions, child bribes or whatever they're called now.

And even if you do get a number you like, there's still a weak relationship between it and your fun money. Though there's no criminal penalty for not doing things like having a place to live, a car to drive, electricity, groceries, etc., in what real sense can you choose not to pay bills for these things?

I don't think holding contradictory beliefs is actually an issue for very many people.

If someone would have asked me what I thought it was, I would have said between 5 and 15%. Right on the money.

Is it not obvious how wealthy chum1 is? And you think he has a mortgage :lol:

It's weird Chum cant give us a straight answer on his tax pain threshold, it's just a number, I mean surely he wants to keep some percentage of his income.

I have to wait until I get home to have access. I might be to lazy to get on my laptop, though.

We purposely moved into a stellar school district. Tax rate is 2.2 and I am happy to pay it. Writing that check literally puts a smile on my face.

For me personally, increasing my salary has always been an excellent way to have more money. Keeping track of my effective FIT, on the other hand, has been far less profitable.

You really don’t care how much the government takes from you as long as you can pay your bills? What a way to live. If you’ve got money left over at the end of the month, do you pay that over to the gov, too?



I believe I have an obligation to pay taxes, which I am happy to fulfill, and that the amount I am taxed is reasonable. Crazy stuff, I know.

what level of taxation would you feel would be unreasonable for you personally this year?

It would have to like double before I'd even notice.

Which amount is reasonable? The amount before or after tax reform?

I'm sure I won't know the difference. It's not something I've ever noticed in the past.
