I'm never going to be a rich conservative, having decided to go the teacher and national guardsman route in life...

your still young. dont do it. there is still time to go the rout of money.
 
I'm already 4.75 years into my service in the Air National Guard, and the only concern I have is the really borderline fitness scores I have been getting for the past 1 1/2 years. Come July 9th, I will be 1/4 of the way through my time already (take that older servicemembers who diss my youth!!!!)

Anyway, in December, I will be certified to teach in WA state in history, social studies, and mid-level humanities. Then, next Spring I will complete my Master's Degree. Then I just need to work towards my permanent (professional) certification, and perhaps seek a commission in the guard...

there is some truth to the idea of motivation. there is a theory in economics i need to think about to remember. its like a bell curve where once tax gets to certain level production goes down. something like the optimal tax tolerance curve.

Edit.. just remembered: Laffer curve

The Laffer curve is one attempt at making an optimal curve, but he puts it far too low, like at 25%. Keynes had his at 90%. Economics isn't an exact science, but I'd say that optimal returns can be had somewhere in the 50% - 70% area (although you should take more into account when setting tax policy than merely the most the government can get out of it).

I'm a millionaire too!

I don't understand tax code either!


"Approximately 2% of the American households make more than $250,000 a year and (you may find this hard to believe) a very high percentage of these high-earning go-getting producers spend their days commenting over at Michelle Malkin's place... when they're not busy flying their Lear jets up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun.

Scenes from the Go Go Gaults:

I’ve resigned from my job, and I’m selling my rental properties. After this, I’m moving to a rural little town and simplifying everything. I’ll be reading so many more books soon, if that sort of thing is still allowed.

What motivation do we have to make more money? Only to have it confiscated by the Feds. Bad enough CA just increased a variety of taxes, including the income tax. That’s why I’m looking to move to NV. I was just there on Saturday. Won’t be too long now.

I decided I will endeavor to take more business trips and continuing education classes at exotic places and try to reduce taxable income.

Yep, it’s happening. Several friends are shutting down to sustaining levels. Partly due to housing and the rest due to the tax hikes.

I shut down my online businesses in early November, I don’t remember why. I’m now a net user of Obama Cheese. I may even apply for food stamps.

Small businesses will lay off employees, and I hope the first to go are the ones that voted for bho. They wanted ‘hope and change’, well you got it. These bho voters have NO idea how much more taxes they are going to be paying. I just hope those bho voters have their IRA, 401k and stocks cratered as much as those who DID not vote for bho. Such(sic) it up kids!

I’m starting my victory garden this spring. My sister is expanding hers and in exchange for my helping with that I will be able to claim some of the produce. I’ve been couponing for over a year now and have a nice stockpile of food for when things get really, really bad. I can’t believe that my country is on this path. From Ronald Reagan to this Marxist in the span of one generation. Unbelievable.

I have a friend who is planning to not work overtime this year to stay well below the dangerous benchmark that is 250k. His point was that he might as well take some time off and enjoy and relax rather than work and give every dollar above 250 away. I don’t blame his reasoning and the loss is, he spends his money.

I told my wife that we may need to be prepared to move to another country - one with a strong American community, of course - because of the excessive tax and regulatory burden placed on businesses w/in the Continental U.S. What is happening in California will soon be extrapolated to the the other states. When the usurpers are at last exposed for who they truly are and when we can return to common sense, we’ll depose them and take back what is rightfully ours — a culture of civility based on Natural
Law/Judeo-Christian ethics, and the rule-of-law Republic that the Founders envisioned.

...and my personal favorite:

We also have “gone Galt”. Hubby decided to retire and start Medicare instead of our original plan of waiting two years.

It's silly beyond all words to quit your job because of a 4.5% tax increase.

I mean, for one thing, that's a massive net negative. You are not gaining money by doing this.

This is nothing but advertisement for right-wing tax policies, a stunt.

Well since economics isn't an exact science, I'd say that optimal returns can be had somewhere in the 2%-3% area.

And you can say that if you want.

Tax returns in the 80's did not increase as much from the 70's as tax returns in the 70's increased from the 60's. This would seem to indicate that the 30% area returns less than the 70% area. Although it doesn't PROVE it beyond a shadow of a doubt, because there could very well have been obfuscating factors.
 
that's hillarious I make half that and 3% tax increase is not making anyone quit or leave the country. Translation, I got my ass fired and it's a lot more fashionable to say your leaving your job to the country club job than admit all you can get is a job making a third in jujuville Ohio.
 
Well, Darla, they do have a point. I mean, I was planning on winning the MegaMillions tonight. But I'm not now. I mean, what's the point if the gov't is going to take it? :dunno:

LMAO. I'm on nj.com posting now and I swear the idiots that pull this bullshit kill me. Clearly none of them have ever tried to get a job in another country nor do they realize that we are in a GLOBAL economic down turn.
