Title: Tired of one step forward, two back...
Post by Melissa on Jan 11th, 2008, 10:23am
Once again I am at the beginning.  It seems like when you get close to your goal, something happens where you have to give it up and start over again.

It's frustrating and it makes me cry.  Stupid I'm sure, but I can't help it.

#@^%$^% taxes!!! >:( >:( >:(

(sorry for the vent, but I just had to!!)

Nobody to thank but your condescending, egomaniacal legislators in Madistan. The alternative is to move (west), which is what we plan to do in a few years.

It sucks!  You're taxed for land you already own...TWICE, you're taxed for owning a dog (utterly stupid), and poor Jesse works 60 hours a week and gets taxed to the HILT so we can just hold our heads above water.  Where the fuck is the justice there??  I'm so mad I could spit! >:(

Like I said a couple of weeks ago, I hope I'm still alive for the 2nd American Revolution.

Keep your powder dry and keep practising your marksmanship.

Mel,

Taxes were part of the reason I sold my business of 12 years.

Wisconsin is not very small business friendly. They claim they are but I found that to not be true. I especially like the part where you have to pay taxes on money that you haven't even received yet. Oh, and giving 1/2 my check back was always real satisfying >:(

Vent away Girl!!!

I just sent in my check to Rock County yesterday. I just try and remember all that I am receiving back for my tax dollar?

From the money I get paid by Medicare I pay 45% Tax, 50% of the remaining goes to overhead cost and another 10% goes to insurance.

So every year for the last 10 years I worked 6 months for the government and other big companies and I get to keep 3 months worth of pay for myself.

>:(

Except I don't drink.

I'll use it to clean my guns. You know, in preparation for the 2nd Revolution. ;)

I'm there. It's like debtors prison here. Every month that I don't pay my property taxes in full, I get fined and it builds and builds.

For all this, they no longer plow the neighborhood walks.  

Vent away Mel. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/red fist pound.gif
