Yeah, Damo pays taxes. I don't get money back, I haven't for years. (Paying quarterly blows). So today money is sent to the government to waste it so badly they can't even cover their expenses and have to borrow 40% more in order to pay the interest on the debt and give out all the "freebies" they use to garner votes...
Here is some interesting tidbits on this wonderful "holiday" for your edification and mystification:
1. It will take you 111 days this year just to pay off the government. (This means 6 more days until Tax Freedom Day).
2. Those federal bureaucrats whose salaries you pay? A bunch of them are tax cheats.
(According to an investigative report by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), over 300,000 federal employees and retirees were delinquent on their own taxes to the tune of $3.5 billion)
3. You probably pay more in Medicare and Social Security taxes than you do in income taxes…
4. …And if you’re young, you’re probably never going to get that money back.
5. Pretty much everybody’s tax rates went up in 2013 thanks to Obamacare and the so-called fiscal cliff deal.
6. Most Americans believe their taxes are too high.
7. Even as they try to raise your taxes, only 5 percent of Democrats think their own taxes are too low.
8. Corporations are people? Not so much. They get way better tax treatment than actual people.
