rsb502 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I guess I might have to sell my Superliner and my pickup truck just to cover the difference in my income after this tax hike were looking at,Im single no kids and have made $75000 as of11/23 and paid in $20500 in taxes, if the numbers are right my taxes will go up $3000 a year I dont think I cant keep paying this crap I would be better off to quit my job and get on the govt check at the end of the year. I dont know if everybody else has been watching this and done the math but it four in what they call the upper middle class you will end up paying about 1/3 of your income in taxes, its freaking ridiculous. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28741-sell-the-truck-to-cover-taxes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I only see about 1/3 of my yearly income. The rest............gone before they even print the check. I'd consider myself pretty well off if I got even another 1/4 of that 1/3.......................................Umm, well, sorta. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

rsb502 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 The medical and the retirement are the only real reasons I wanted to work for the Railroad my health insurance is 198/mo and I had hernia surgery all the pre surgery visits and the checkup only cost me $60 for everything, the retirement pays out over double social security but we pay in 11% instead of the ss 7%. I will quit and be cruising the Superliner within a week of them telling me either is going to be taken away and Paul Ryan is tring to get our retirement now and put us at the equivalent payout of social security but increase our pay in to 13%, mo___r fu__ers!

41chevy Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'm sitting down with my accountant tomorrow to see if it is worth keeping my business as it is or go back to how I started out. Told my people that we will know Monday if we a company or not. Taxes, increased utility costs, fuel, insurance...seem I work just to pay taxes.

Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted December 8, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2012 As the deadline looms closer, I blame both sides of the aisle for the lack of cooperation. I am a middle of the road republican- I do believe that the wealthy should be paying more in taxes and that loopholes should close. But I also believe that there are too many Gubmint handouts that need to be shut down or limited- drug testing for anyone on welfare and if you show hot for anything you dont have a prescription for- yer done. Fini. Buh bye.......None of the azzholes in Washington want to move off their stances and it looks like once again, us, the working stiffs are going to get it.

It's very E/Z for a small busn. owner to make 250,000 a year, so how is it that Obonehead thinks 250 is a million? How about GE coughin up some money?

RowdyRebel Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 The problem with taxing the "rich" more is that the "rich" control the jobs. They are going to keep exactly what they are used to keeping...and if they need to cut a few jobs and demand more productivity from a smaller work force in order to accomplish that, it is what they are going to do. So then those people who lost their jobs will be added to the ranks of the unemployed and they'll start receiving their handout. Welfare payments go up. Tax revenues decline because the number of tax-roll drop-outs and the contributions they WOULD have made if they had remained employed outpaces the "extra" taxes demanded of the "rich".When the top 10% are paying nearly 50% of the taxes collected, how can anyone claim they aren't paying their "fair share"? Especially when 47% of people don't pay anything...or worse yet, are on the receiving end of a government handout. THOSE people ought to be asked to pay THEIR "fair share".The problem with taxes stems from the fact that the tax code is so long and complex that NOBODY fully understands it. There were 4543 words in the original US Constitution. That is all that was necessary to establish the greatest country in the world. Why does the US Tax Code have 73,608 PAGES?Something needs to be done. Scrap the whole damn thing and go to a flat tax or the fairtax or ANYTHING that the average ordinary person can understand. It shouldn't take you 3 hours just to download the friggin tax forms that you'll need to fill out every year....and then another 3 days to get them filled out. That's 3+ days of productivity LOST while you are trying to comply with the tax code. 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

farmer52 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I vote for a flat tax! And you are right about the "rich". I read an article that states what you said. They will cut jobs, raise prices, etc. to keep their "income" the same. The loser in this deal is the middle person. Bend over and say thank you.

41chevy Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Dump the income tax and create a national sales tax. That was everybody pays it, from the richest to the Illegal who works and pay nothing in taxes at all, to the Gimmies who get the hand outs.Don't forget on top the these new taxes we are also getting the first round of taxes fees on Obama Care kicking in also.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/12/08/deal-or-no-deal-obamacare-taxes-poised-to-hit-next-month/?intcmp=trending Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28741-sell-the-truck-to-cover-taxes/#findComment-150320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
