first, best, biggest!

Me too. Hell in 2008 I owed the effers money. I claim single 1 for my military retirement and single 2 at my current job and I broke even last year.

Curious to see what happens this year...

Than compared to last year . . .

Withholding tables have been reduced, Pottsie. This talk about "what I got back" is starting to sound like a bunch of liberals. All that matters is what the heck you paid. What percentage of income compared to prior years? The money you "got back" was an interest free loan you gave your government out of the goodness of your heart.

Yep, it's smoke 'n mirrors that the Gubment uses. They reduce the withholding tables so it looks like you got a "raise". They hope you will spend that extra thereby helping grow the economy. You still owe the SAME amt of tax at the end of the year you just have LESS in that withholding acct. Which BTW is best for you unless you're not a "saver".

Received $750 back last year paying $800 this year with no change in witholdings and making less money!!!
Woo hoo.

Every year I do my taxes on Feb. 1st, and file on April 15th. I don't understand the people who like getting large refunds...I got a $8,000 dollar refund. No you didn't you let the goverment borrow 8 gran and then they gave it back to you without any interest. I try to borrow a few hundred every year without paying interest.

I've got about $20k less that we are reporting....

and I'm paying more than last year. By about $2K.



WTF?


Thanks, President Douchenozzle, and all the f*cking idiots in Congress.

the original poster pretty much backed away from this one. Funny stuff.

More like the mob, and their "protection" payments...

You know, not everyone chooses to follow your example and live off of the government "largess" for a living. The rest of us work for our pay.

Prolly written in India.

Potts, when you learn a new word such as "largess," please realize that you don't need to put it in quotation marks when you use it in a sentence. It makes it look like you pull most of your stupidity off of opinion blog headlines instead of just out of your own stupid head.

Typically, when responding to your posts, most of the words I use have to be explained to you.

But that's OK. I'm sure your small vocabulary wasn't a hindrance in you meteoric rise to be head stewardess on the Bangkok red-eye...

(Meaning that because you know not so many words, it could not stop you from being big man in tiny dress who hands out pretzels and sodas inside big iron eagle.)

Yes, Jimmy, we're ALL aware you "don't get it." Your palms must be rubbed raw by now.

Yes, Jimmy, we're all aware of what you "don't get."

It seems that even potts has the ability to operate basic tax-preparation software, so he might know what he is doing.

What is evident, however, is that he has no idea what he is talking about. As noted by other posters, computing one's tax rate and thus the results of a president's tax policy using your tax refund amount is almost criminally stupid. Cluelessness and willful stupidity should be no surprise to anyone familiar with potts' screeds.

Though I have absolutely no interest in this person's finances, it is certainly clear that he also has no interest in actually discussing them. Also clear is that he simply used a provocative topic to find a new way to attack the president. Sorta getting boring. Coulda been done in a more clever way.

The secondary story line emerging is getting more and more personal and for that reason alone I shall continue to read new posts.

End of round 7. To your corners, gentlemen

Funny.

I did my taxes today and I got something called the "Obama Cone of Protection Screw JPotts Credit".

Now I'm getting a huge refund!

But are you paying more than JPotts?
Is Jpotts paying more than before? Curious minds want to know.

Bastige!

I think you're secretly French Canadian, but refuse to admit it.

Maybe this guy can help Potts. He's really good with his own taxes and budgets!

SESSIONS talking with GEITHNER: "Let's talk about our interest situation under your budget. The interest increases every year. It was $187 billion in 2009. Under your proposal, the interest increases to $844 billion. And would you not agree that that's a stunning figure, perhaps the fastest growing item in the budget? And all of that is a direct result of the debt we're running up, and only a modest expectation of interest rate increases."

GEITHNER: Senator, absolutely. It is a[n] excessively high interest burden. It's unsustainable --

SESSIONS: Well, it's your plan! For the ten years. I mean, that's the one the president has submitted! That's what he's asked us to vote on. It will result in this -- and that's your numbers, off your budget.

GEITHNER: Senator, you're absolutely right. With the president's plan -- even if Congress were to enact it, and even if Congress were to hold to it and reduce those deficits to 3% of GDP over the next five years -- we would still be left with a very large interest burden and unsustainable obligations over time. That's why we're having the debate. I completely agree with you. But the question, though, is -- just to be direct about it -- what's the alternative plan?

SESSIONS: Well, what your plan is is that plan. It's the one you're required by law to submit, and that's what you called for, and it's not acceptable. I'm sorry, it's a plan not for "winning the future," but losing the future.

Ahhh... Liberal intelligence!
