I've got TurboTax open in another window, and it looks inevitable that I owe another $2,100 in taxes tonight.

If I'm grouchy, please understand why.

What about Kerry?!? I bet he made alot more money than the Bush's or Cheney's and I bet he even paid less taxes them and didn't donate anything to charity...

Those included Evergreen Chapel at Camp David, Md., St. John's Church in Washington, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army World Service Office, AmeriCares, an international relief organization; and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

I recall that the Clintons donated Bill's used underwear to Goodwill and took a $3.00 per pair charitable deduction. And Algore gave away $250.00 one year.

But who is it that's greedy?

Cheney may well be subject to penalties and interest for underwithholding. You are required to withhold 90% of the the total tax due at time of filing.

In 2003 the president and first lady Laura Bush reported $822,126 in adjusted gross income and paid $227,490 in federal income taxes.

That's approximately 1/4 of their income in taxes or 25%.

I THOUGHT THE RICH DIDN'T PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

Bushes Report Gross Income of $784,219 (Tax Time)

Well, this is without a doubt, Bush's fault.

RE: The Bushes paid $22,158 in state property taxes on their ranch near Crawford, Texas.

By my standards, that is cheap. I've got probably 1/50th the amount of land, and pay 1/5th that in property tax.

I've always wondered how Presidents handle their tax returns. I think that usually their assets are placed in a blind trust and, if so, can he be expected to have to sign a tax return swearing that the return is accurate?

Wow! I didn't know Laura was the breadwinner of the family.
Aside from that, it seems Bush pays more than his fair share.
The same can't be said for the real rich people, like John Kerry, (who only married money, never earned any on his own) and that skank, Terri, who hates America, and all the other rich beyond their needs liberals, who think only "little people' need to pay taxes, not them; Yet, they call themselves fighters for the poor.
How pathetic they are.
