Whatever you pay in federal income taxes, citizen, it was more than some struggling small businesses paid, which was nothing. By small businesses, of course, I mean multi-billion dollar businesses like GE, Verizon, and Pepsico. Source is unfortunately a PDF, which you can read here.

So, as you wait at the Post Office this Friday... remember, making any of these bootstrappy businesses pay a cent in federal taxes is class warfare (as opposed to cutting food stamps, head start, and other social programs, which are shared sacrifice. )

That certainly is an unpleasant thought.

Whew! I use e-file, so I guess I don't need to worry about this. You had me worried for a moment.

Pfft, I prefer to wait until the last possible second. Although I have to admit I did pay electronically yesterday.

Well as half the US populace doesn't pay income taxes, its not a major concern for many, but yea that is bs.

They would have to pay taxes as their deductions are cut out?

I guess you have to ask yourself, why is the Democrat party the party of the rich, allowing this to happen? Don't they care about the working man?
