Something is definitely wrong when the government can take almost half your income.

well how rich do ya have to be in yrly income?

If you make a lot of money you better hope the state tax doesn't fuck you too.
-
If you make any money or produce anything you should be ashamed of yourself and expect to have it all taken away and given to poor people,

Better yet, cash it all out and airdrop it in all the areas Obama, Jackson and Sharpton feel need it more.

i really would like an answer >:(

38% maximum for people making over 150K+
0% for people making 32K or less
-
I don't even understand what ur asking. Wealthy or Rich is defined as anybody making over 75K..don't quote me, but we all know that amount of money won't buy u shack in Cali or New York. Uncle Sam takes waaay to much of our money for ridiculous things....and then u get hit by ur state in most cases. I claim Florida so no issues but States like Mass fleece u. The Fed has a narrow mandate by the Constitution to spend ur tax dollars....that hasn't help any of us and it will get worse. Guys like Toxie with computer skills will make a great living atleast on paper but he lives in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area and I will assume is or will get killed by taxes.

lets say i get my CCIE(routing n switching) tomorrow...which immediately puts me in the 130k/yr range...in a few yrs i can move up from there depending on if i get another CCIE (security..big in my area)..or open up my own training center..or consulting firm...thats the long range plan
in any case i will be in Nothern VA...so u r right...taxes will kill me..
however..jobs that want to hire CCIEs are just not available (or not so popolous <sp?>) in areas outside the tech corridor

Which is ur problem...u can make great money but u get taxed to death and the cost of living is ridiculous...ur actually worse in Northern V then I thought u'd be in Maryland. I sorta need to do a Pentagon tour but besides the traffic and being in DC, the cost of living is horrible and I'd either have to live on one of the Posts or live an hour away and do the train thing..i can't do it man. I'm trying to get to Tampa, I can rent a good sized house with a pool and still bank 600 plus of my housing allowance. The market crashed there and people don't have a choice. If u made 150K were I was outside outside of KC..u could live on 3 acres..no neighbors...BIG house 2500 plus square feet and still be downtown in 20 minutes. Ur fucked and I understand completely.

if i have to move...i'll move...i can take my CCIE anywhere on the planet...EXCEPT..my girl might not wanna...i could live like a king in north dakota with 150k/yr but north dakota isn't hiring upper level engineers..they can get by paying a mid level engineer a lot less :(
-
Of course thats the problem. I think N.Dakota would be waaay to far but near a big midwest city...u'd do fine and not go crazy.

There are a few loopholes which protect us, but also a few issues which hurt us.
When you make a lot of money, the expectation is that you'll be able to find more ways to squirrel your money away. DO WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU. Put in the time and figure out the best ways to decrease your taxable income. You make a lot of money, you earned it, you should be able to keep a large portion of it.
Where you get screwed, though, is in areas like your medical care. You can deduct your premiums, but if you 'only' spend $5000 out of pocket on, say, dental care, then you're toast, cuz that amount - while significant - is too small a percentage of your annual income for you to be able to deduct it. This was under the Bush tax rules and will continue under Obama.

Basically, if you have a real job you are considered rich now.

Didn't he say it was combined taxable income of $250,000 and higher?
That's not hard to do for a lot of married couples living on the east coast or in California.
-
Living the dream!......Mr 'Capitalist'. Hahahahahaaa ;D
Idiot.
-
What's so stupid about all of this is that whether or not you are rich has much more to do with your wealth rather than your income. Some people's income changes dramatically from year to year. We should end this exercise in mental retardation and impose a flat tax. Dont be surprised if everybody's income goes up by atleast 10%.

Do you consider 2500 square feet to be a big house?

Exactly!!! I've always thought it would be kind of cool to have to pay $10,000,000 a year in income taxes,
...and that's after every possible exemption, deduction, write off, loop hole, tax shelter, etc is exploited.
People think I'm crazy, ...but after all that, ... and still ending up with a tax bill of $10 million, you'd be making serious bank!
