Actually, it sounded like YOU were arguing for him to pay more...

Well, just did my adult 19 yr old son's tax return and Walah Voilà! His federal refund is exactly the amount that he paid in and his State refund is exactly the amount that he paid in. Sooo, I guess if you work at Burger King and low wage jobs, you really don't pay taxes. Uh huh. FTFY.

Seems like a great simplification opportunity. Do away with the $12m corp income tax, do away with the $250M personal income tax - and increase the sales tax to $4.262B. Almost all of the complex paper-shuffling occurs in that 0.262B. I'd be very happy to pay a 7.25% sales tax (instead of 6.8%) to rid of the AZ Income Tax Phil, I'd didn't think you lived in Arizona.
Actually if you include both parts of retail sales tax its already around $4.5 billion. There's a bunch of stuff I didn't post like luxury("sin") taxes around $31 million and a bunch other stuff which total around $3.5 billion give or take.

It's "walla." We learned that long ago on EE. And it was intended to make you cringe.

I have answered you ad nauseum. It isn't my job to figure it out for you. Personal responsibility. You take care of you , youself and I take care of me myself. See how that works?

No, you have not answered those questions. Nor does your thread have that much to do with personal responsibility per se.
I was attempting to start a real dialogue about the tax vs. no tax issue, with relevant questions for the OP.
This is what I now suggest due to your intransigence...have your son send the Feds 15% of his earnings as a "personal responsibility" flat tax. See how that works?

Are you surprised by this? Well yes, because this is the first year he has really worked and I haven't done our taxes in the past few years. DH did them or my CPA did. I decided that I am going to do them from now on and save a few bucks. Shooby, aren't you self employed? I'd think your taxes aren't a walk in the park.

See how that works? my taxes pay for the police department, for roads to be constructed, repaired, and plowed, for the fire dept., for parks, and assorted other stuff that I really can't do on my own. Personal responsibility is great, but I'm not capable to inspecting the meat I buy at the grocery store, or putting out a house fire.

It is not rocket science. Fill out the right form blah blah. Depreciation on equipment, getting the expenses in the right categories, all the schedules that go with a K-1, no thanks. My time is better spent doing what I do, and I let the accountants do what they do.

Why is this thread still going? Shooby, I think you're cool and all, but you seem to enjoy stirring the pot. You're not the only one that does it, but you do it quite often and then proclaim yourself a victim. Can we please just agree to let this thread sink into the abyss?

No. There are a bazillion threads. If you don't enjoy this one, I am sure you can find something else to your liking. I don't think anyone really enjoys it. What they are enjoying is making fun of it and you. It's a common occurrence that can be hard to watch sometimes. But you insist on subjecting yourself to it. I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or join in on the ridicule sometimes.

Well, that's true. But, it doesn't really fit this thread, unless it's tax deductible.
