And I use every tax credit out there to reduce or eliminate what I pay in since the government is so wasteful of it, I decided to keep as much as I can.

It wasn't a war to fight against taxation, it was about representation.

I could not let you run with that shot across the bow. Liberals do not understand a budget concept and never mind reducing the cost of Gov. Liberals assume that everyone wants a entitlement or a new project.. Plus precious tax money never goes to the project what it was intended for.

But if you feel you would wish to contribute anther 30 percent on top of your current tax rate go right ahead.

Welcome to reality kiddo, this happens every tax season as if it is a shocker to people that they have to actually pay taxes.
Or, do it the easy way......learn the tax code.
