just finished taxes. total owed between fed and state: $586 OUCH islndr Apr 15, 07:01

between that and the miniscule extra i got weekly, it was a wash {nm} islndr Apr 15, 07:02

Had to pay for the first time in many many years ($3000)...ouch {nm} YouDontKnow Apr 15, 09:01

Ouch indeed. Something's not set up right. Be sure to adjust the amount being withheld from your check to avoid a repeat this year. {nm} PhoneHome Apr 15, 09:47

So you were in the 29% break even and not in the majority. Sucks to be you. {nm} PhoneHome Apr 15, 20:01

How do you feel about the largest corporations in the USA not paying any tax at all? Zip. Zero. Zilch. {nm} BSmurf Apr 16, 17:17

Corporations do not pay tax, it is just another hidden tax on whoever uses their products. Passed on as a cost of doing business. {nm} forlorne Apr 17, 06:19

Exactly! If their tax goes up, their price goes up. Then you pay the tax. When their tax goes down, your 401k goes up, economy benefits. {nm} PhoneHome Apr 17, 08:44

record corportate profits and multimillion dollar ceos, yet cant pay a liveable wage. and you know most americans dont have a 401k islndr Apr 17, 09:12

Wages are based on supply and demand. If there is a line of people that can and want to do what you do, wages forlorne Apr 17, 12:09

False information. Corporations do pay "living wages" and most working Americans do have 401k's or other retirement plans. {nm} PhoneHome Apr 17, 12:57

Only 21% have no retirement savings. Your sources must be the propaganda rags. PhoneHome Apr 17, 20:39

It gets passed on, but not necessarily to consumers. No one actually knows for sure where the burden of corporate tax falls in practice. RogerMore Apr 17, 09:07

Not on CEO salaries. corporate taxes are yet another scam to convince people someone else is paying. {nm} forlorne Apr 17, 12:10

Nah, there are a bunch of good reasons for corporate taxes, you're just choosing to ignore them. {nm} RogerMore Apr 17, 17:07
