Doncha worry 'bout it though....those freeloadin' 49%'ers in mom & dad's Sunday School class ain't gettin' no more free rides....their taxable incomes just practically doubled .

Liars....every damn one of 'em

I always figured you were the rich one. You retired before I did the first time...and I am ready to retire again after a second career.

Lots of folks in this world think that if they had less money withheld throughout the year, and then have to give a little of it back in April, their taxes went up.

Well then...you suck at math Sammy . You wanna put yer money where yer mouth is....anyone? No social experiments....mom's got taxes to pay forever....at 83

Some folks on this thread are clueless....I have the freakin' actual numbers...you think I'm bs'ing? Just a typical elderly couple, no debt, conservative to the core, giving a LOT to their church....former 49% freeloadin' deadbeats....

Their modest taxable income doubled .

Generous to a fault....mebbe....but that's OK too...
