How much tax do you pay a year? Do you feel it is value for money?

Answer 1

We earn about $90,000 a year my wife and I;

We pay about $25,000 in income and social security taxes, we pay another $2,000 in property taxes and $500 in vehicle registration fees. We pay, I estimate, about $2,000 in sales taxes and I won't count local fees for services because I do see value in those and they are directly for services. I'm sure that I am missing some general taxes but in essence we pay about $29,500 in taxes. I think we're better off them some because we own our own business and that helps with the income taxes.

If I paid $12,000 a year less in taxes I would employ another student part time and enjoy more time off.

Answer 2

Too much tax and No we do not get value for money.

Basically, the first thing Gordon Brown did when he became chancellor was to grant independence to the BoE. They Set the interest rates and through this and thier control of the money supply, they control the economy. Stimulating it or contracting it with interest rate decisions.

All gordon Brown does is tax the Profit of UK Plc. It doesn't take a genius to do that. Problem is, he is overtaxing us massively and wasting the revenue. The ID card scheme is going to cost Billions of pounds in order to save millions of pounds.

There is no common sense involved and ZERO value for money.

Answer 3

Most taxes go for Social Programs. These are nothing more than hand-outs to segments of our society. The Democrat Party's goal is called "redistribution of wealth". They take away from you and give to me so I will vote Democrat.
This affects peoples attitudes. We now have millions and millions of people in this country, of all races, that have their hands out and feel that you (the taxpayer) owes them money.

Answer 4

Too much. I want to see more reforms and more efficiently run programs. No more supporting illegals, no more generations on welfare, no more pork. So my answer would be I do not feel I am getting enough value for my money.

Answer 5

None!! I'm a student, but I'm dreading having to pay it when I graduate. I'm not sure what percentage they take off you, but I don't know if it's all worth it. And before you ask, I am a fee paying student, I get no support from the state and I work part-time to cover my expenses.

Answer 6

Too much but I'm working on ways to get out of it. If I thought I was getting something for my money I wouldn't be trying to get out of paying it.

Answer 7

the same as every one else percentage wise, over the threshold
and no it is not value for money, if the goverment was a private enterprise they would have been out of business years ago.

Answer 8

I pay nothing
My lawyer always gets me out of paying taxes.

Taxes are for liberal Smurfs that believe that share and share alike nonsense. I'm for business and profit.

Go big Red Go

Answer 9

the wrongful thing in taxes is that you have to pay more just because you earn more.

that´s unjust, it´s the underlying felony of our time - the one who earns more shouldn´t be punished for the pure fact he could find a way to make more money.

and please, punishing the ones who are able to create a bigger income has nothing to do with solidarity. enforced solidarity isn´t solidarity at all.
