I think I'm somewhere in the 25% to 30% bracket. I am not sure what the cut off to be in that bracket is, but I assure you, I am at or near the bottom. <BR/><BR/>And yes, I have to pay state taxes. <BR/><BR/>LC,<BR/><BR/>I can almost understand not thinking Clooney is a God in human form. He is very masculine. VERY. That can be off putting, but in his case I find it a recipe for perfection. In addition, he is not a short balding guy with glasses. I am so glad there is a market for that type of man. I have two words that should make your day: Jason Alexander.<BR/><BR/>Killer,<BR/>A $6k refund?

(I think the IRS is watching me, so I am trying to act cool.) <BR/>As a travel nurse, I get to write off all kinds of crazy shit. I used a different tax account one year and the first thing he asked me was, "How gray are you willing to be?" That comment frightened me, but I got $6000 back.<BR/><BR/>I used to be very selective about my ladies, but now I only want a heartbeat, four limbs and atleast one boob.Killerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970222102162658062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19717042.post-8243052747127904132007-04-08T05:30:00.000-07:002007-04-08T05:30:00.000-07:00I want to say that is must be nice to make enough ...I want to say that is must be nice to make enough money to be in the 30% tax bracket, even if you do have to pay that much in taxes. But maybe you're not making that much money. Maybe you are also counting state taxes or some other taxes that I don't have to pay. Or maybe you are counting stuff like Social Security, which doesn't figure into the tax refund. <BR/><BR/>This year we're getting about 800 dollars back. Seems like the last few years we owed money, so I am happy about the refund even if it is not enough for a real vacation and a dishwasher.<BR/><BR/>I guess I am especially ticked off about stuff that we are told tax money is spent on, but then we end up paying extra for it anyway. We have a few toll roads here and there. Supposedly they're only supposed to be toll roads until they collect enough money to make up for how much they went over budget, but I for one have never seen a toll booth torn down. Once it is there, it seems to stay there.<BR/><BR/>And parts of the interstate system in other states are toll roads. I was sure that federal taxes were supposed to pay for all the roads with an I in front of the number. So what is up with the toll booth if we've already been taxed for it?<BR/><BR/>I don't know about the old people looking good now. I've had a crush on Leonard Nimoy my whole life. Still have a crush on Mr. Spock, but Mr. Nimoy is finally getting up there. But I think Sean Connery was always hot. In fact, in my opinion, he didn't get really hot until sometime after Outland, so I don't watch James Bond stuff.<BR/><BR/>I guess it is more my reaction to ordinary men that has changed. You expect people on TV to be good looking, while the rest of us have days that we look like crap and do not have a whole team of people trying to fix us up. But sometimes now I find myself noticing someone with solid white hair or little hair at all, cause doesn't he have the most brilliant blue eyes. Probably wouldn't even have looked at his eyes before.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19717042.post-81825204956353951642007-04-07T22:00:00.000-07:002007-04-07T22:00:00.000-07:00Shit, I have always been attracted to short baldin...Shit, I have always been attracted to short balding guys with glasses, and actually think that Clooney is not so goodlooking, so I am not one to make any comments on that.<BR/><BR/>I ended up getting a refund, that I used to pay off some of my credit cards, which is what I would've done throughout the year anyway. <BR/><BR/>There's even a new credit, for long distance service use or something? It's 60 more bucks in your pocket.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611558144974323918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19717042.post-82232365973954135952007-04-07T20:53:00.000-07:002007-04-07T20:53:00.000-07:00wait! i could have claimed bear, bella and the fis...wait! i could have claimed bear, bella and the fish!? damn jackson hewitt, they just cost me 6 grand!<BR/><BR/>as for the guys, in my younger days i would have never gone for a bald guy with a full red beard and 'stash, but considering his willingness to do battle for me i may have to rethink that. ;-)heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706296327058741584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19717042.post-8518734837322798312007-04-07T20:09:00.000-07:002007-04-07T20:09:00.000-07:00My tax attorney hates the IRS more than anyone I k...My tax attorney hates the IRS more than anyone I know. He takes it personally if the IRS gets a penny of my money. I love him, but every year, I am afraid that I am going to jail.

I'm sorry. I would advise that you either get back in school or buy a house. Or maybe you're just wealth? I hear the rich always end up paying taxes. From my experience that also includes the struggling middle class. I always had to PAY when I was a teacher making $25k a year.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033094637512026342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19717042.post-48404756507858084122007-04-07T14:00:00.000-07:002007-04-07T14:00:00.000-07:00I had to pay $450 this year.
