QUOTE NO.1 I live on my s.s. and mil. pen. 401 k NO.2 I didnt pay a dime in fed taxes. NO.3 I could have paid a little with no problen. So dont give me all those sob stories. Hmmm just your Military Pension would put you at a taxable level as a single, rough estimate of staff sergeant's pension 1600 x 12 = 19,200. the average S.S is 1,177 x 12 =14,124 so now we're talking 33,324 which would put you well into taxable territory even as a couple, we didn't include your 401k so let's just say 500. a month 6,000 a year so our grand total, low-balled IMO is 39,324.. you paid no tax? I know SS is only taxed at a percentage of you income level but how can you avoid taxation? You're AGI is still above EIC levels $13,460 ($18,470 married filing jointly) with no qualifying children. Unless you have a house full of dependents I don't see how you avoid taxation.. Al Capone went to prison for tax evasion!
This wasn't an attack on you pepi, the tax system in this country is way too full of exemptions and loopholes and many who have the money don't pay, I'm talking much more money than a retired Sergeant makes...
Don't feel bad about not paying tax, I'm paying enough for both of us and then some...

Why is it that Radical Right-Wing Republican Kooks don't want to fix crumbling bridges, highways or schools and make the rich pay for it?
