Sheesh, now they’re taxing people with record collections!

I have 4000 LPs, and didn’t owe any Federal tax in 2016. Should I be worried?

obama is gone but the income tax remains to suck America down the rathole

Wasn’t the percentage of households not paying tax 47% in 2012?

Nonetheless, of the 148,606,578 individual income tax return filers that year, 52,062,499 (or 35 percent) filed what the IRS calls “nontaxable returns,” which means they paid no net individual income taxes.

I want these 52 million nontaxable returns published! What are they hiding from the public? Let's organize protest marches and vandalize property and terrorize motorists until those 52 million returns are published! They are thieves taking perks paid for by me. I want names and I want them to pay a fair share, or at least some money. Not fair!

If one has a Record Collection, one has to pay taxes?

That’s ok. The rest of us picked up their tab.

If the “AMT” really did what it says, there would be no such thing as these 52 million. It should not be possible for ANYBODY to use deductions and credits to reduce their tax bill below a certain level. There should be an AMT that ensures everyone pays the “greater of 10% AGI or whatever the regular tax code requires”.
