Don't feel bad, My uncle out in the LA area has to pay damn near 100K... You need to learn how to lie better on those returns.. I give a ridiculous amount to church...
I could only claim 10K as my max for charity donation. Even though I donated over 40K to my charity last year. (Yeah, it was other people's money, but so what?)
Just think, if I had exercised some stock options, I would have to pay EVEN MORE.
Isn't that true? Bush spent our surplus and not one penny of it went to us. Hell, I am all for spending extra money we have, but not on another fucking country. We never saw a dime of that. And here I am paying more.
