I've already told everyone that this is the last year I'm doing anyone else's taxes.. It's just too much.. Once people started to dabble into crypto, I said that's it for me.. Crypto is a big pain in the butt at tax time. Oh ouch. There is no way in hell im ever getting roped in to do anyone else's taxes, crypto shenanigans or not 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I filed ours a few weeks ago -- getting a refund from the State for the first time in ages, so I wanted them filed earlier than I usually do it. Then I just set up the Fed to take the amount due from the checking account tomorrow. That State refund hit 2 days ago, just in time to cover most of the Fed due. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't like: Local Government - useful, if you don't want to sweep your own public streets and change streetlight bulbs. Fire & Rescue Services - useful if your house starts burning down and your 10m long garden hosepipe is a bit underpowered and your flimsy little stepladder can't reach a top floor bedroom window. Police - useful if a criminal act or threat causes you trouble and your own "firm warning" is ignored or mocked. Courts/Prisons - useful if you want dangerous people or criminals locked away and rehabilitated, because doing that yourself is a bit weird and illegal. Coastguards - useful if you can't swim or breathe underwater. Hospitals/Ambulances/Doctors/Nurses - useful if you get hurt or ill, can't drive yourself to hospital and aren't capable of giving yourself a heart transplant while under a general anesthetic. A Navy, Army, Air Force - useful if an aggressor or foreign country invades your home country and your own "firm warning" is ignored or mocked. Road/Rail Networks & Air/Sea ports - useful if you want to travel around locally or go abroad/overseas. Social Security - useful if you lose your job, are unable to work, or too old to work. Education - useful, without it you would be unable to read this! Etc.... 😜 Edited April 15, 2022 by SarahKB7 Koskinen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stop voicing my opinion, about how badly the government of the USA uses tax dollars to actually take care of it's people. I do appreciate living in a semi-civilized society and in truth - I am quite blessed and grateful for those blessings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Tax dollars dont cover this. For some people sure but for most no. These are all mostly run by private industry in the States. Except for maybe VA hospitals?

That was inevitable, and insofar as it might actually highlight the need for the proposed subforum, not even necessarily a bad thing. The point had been made -- pretty much on the first couple of pages -- anyway. More disheartening was the bland response from the Kristen. We might just as well have been asking for a subforum for SL motorcycle clubs: the generic answer would have fit as well. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
