30 Minutes Until The U.S. Tax Deadline - I Just Finished Doing My Taxes.

Tweet

The tax deadline was extended until April 17th this year in the United States because of a holiday in the District of Columbia. (Washington DC) I, being a person who does everything at the last minute, just finished doing my taxes online. I used H & R Blocks Premium online service. Now I want to tell you how I feel about going through this process. It's total Bull Sh-t. Tax collection in the U.S. is totally out of control. I just read an article in the Trentonian newspaper that said that the fortune 500 company General Electric just broke the record with a tax return that had over 26,000 pages. Who in the hell gave politicians and tax collectors the right to shake us down for our hard earned money? I realize that we as citizens should support funding for education, the military, highways and other essential things, but this is outrageous. The amount of taxes you pay depends on how educated you are regarding tax loopholes or finding a tax preparer that understands the tax laws. This makes it totally unfair. Here is my solution to this problem. I'll settle for a FLAT tax of 15% if nothing else is taken out my earnings. That means no tax on food, real estate, cars, clothes, cell phones, or anything. That way we can eliminate the arrogant people who work for the IRS enforcing their unconstitutional tax laws. At the same time we can get rid of the people who steal your money at the state level. That includes all 50 states. The reason we are taxed like this is because of mismanagement of the funds, corruption and nepotism. There is absolutely no way the state I live in should be broke. Here in New Jersey, we collect tolls on the New Jersey TurnPike and other toll roads. We get revenue from casino gambling in Atlantic City. We get revenue from the New Jersey Lottery. We get revenue from horse racing. Yet we find ourselves in a deficit. We pay the highest taxes in America. Something is wrong here. We have the highest real estate taxes and highest automobile insurance in the nation. Enough is enough. It's time to go to a fair and flat tax for all the people of the United States. If you don't believe me, then take a look at all the taxes we pay that weren't even around 100 years ago. Here they are. Accounts Receivable Tax Building Permit Tax CDL license Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Federal Income Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax, Fuel permit tax Gasoline Tax (42 cents per gallon) Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Interest expense Inventory tax IRS Interest Charges IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) L1quor Tax Luxury Taxes Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service charge taxes Social Security Tax Road usage taxes Sales Tax Recreational Vehicle Tax School Tax State Income Tax State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Telephone federal excise tax Telephone federal universal service fee tax Telephone federal, state and local surcharge taxes Telephone minimum usage surcharge tax Telephone recurring and non-recurring charges tax Telephone state and local tax Telephone usage charge tax Utility Taxes Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Watercraft registration Tax Well Permit Tax Workers Compensation Tax Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. So now what are your thoughts about taxes? When are we going to stand up and put a end to this madness. Thanks for letting me vent. Lloyd
