Good guy government. "Hey, thats half ours now you lowly pukes!!"
Work hard, luck out, find treasure on your own property, doesnt matter. The government gets to take what they feel is rightfully theirs. I hate the government more and more. The forceful over reaching hand that gets to take and then spend wildly. All the while, the elitists in DC are over paid and get the best benefits and whatnot as our expense.
I swear, the Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves to see what's become of Government. Government is now everything that they feared. Overly powerful elitist jerks. And we as a people stand by and just laugh or shrug. We are pathetic as a whole.
Why blame the government. We all pay taxes on our income whether we earn it or find it. The couple's fault was in disclosing this info. Personally, I would have kept it to myself
I think the tax code should take the cost of living index into consideration. That would make things much, much, much more equitable. It's BS that I am taxed at the same rate as a person living in Idaho.
I've ALWAYS thought that too. Ditto for the standard mileage allowance. Here in Calif, we're gouged with the highest gasoline prices in the country, yet have the same mileage allowance rate as the rest of the US.

True, NJ has relatively low gasoline costs. I wouldn't mind having that increase my federal taxes if the feds also took our state income, sales tax, property tax and general consumer prices into consideration. It really is a great idea.

The feds do. It is just that most people don't itemize. However Republicans wan't to get rid of that.
Yet you liberals keep voting for the Democrats responsible for the gasoline taxes that are the crux of the high prices.
Oil companies have to import oil because left-wingers won't allow them to drill offshore - which would result in lower prices.
Speak for yourself. I've voted for Boxer and Feinstein in the past, but I've just about given up on them. I'm voting third party from here on out. Neither party is for the American middle class. Import oil? There's plenty of fracking going on right now within this country. We should have nuked China when we had the chance- then we'd have no overpopulation and no competition for finite resources like oil. No need to kill dolphins, whales and other endangered marine life.
No surprise at all...... THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT THIER MOUTH SHUT ABOUT IT!!
