Even if you're self-employed, you still need to pay quarterly taxes to avoid owing underpayment penalties. You might want to check with a tax professional.

 

Gotta love it. Taxed till you can't pay anymore. It really is amazing how you're taxed everywhere you go or not go. Income tax, gas tax, property tax, sales tax, cigarette tax, alcohol tax, and tax on top of tax....

 

It's the American Dream.

 

Thats why we all worked hard in school and at our jobs and professions...to attain a level of success to pay more taxes so that those that didn't work hard, feed at the public trough and want more of something for nothing can receive their bounty.

keep busting your *****. Someone on welfare needs your money.

 

You guys are real geniuses! Let's all stop paying taxes now! The roads will crumble, infrastructure will go to hell (as if we're not already far enough behind ROW), and there won't be any cops to control the angry mobs who will come a** rape you before they steal your cash, car, and the keys to your safe deposit box! Sounds good to me, as long as I can keep an extra 10 cents on the dollar!

 

You dont have to be filthy rich to buy a used Porsche, ferrari, lambo... U can get one of these cars used for a decent price. One thing you have to keep in mind is maintenance on them. Even if you get a car for 50k your servicing a 100k+ car.. i wouldnt recommend getting one if you would just scrape by , you would be better off waiting a little longer till your a little more set to play around.. you could get into a m3 which is fun yet isnt a 100k+ car that gives off that image or has those bills.. then get into the 911 or another super-car down the road. There is nothing like driving one once you have it but you have to be prepared for everything that comes with it..

Most of our taxes do not go to the items you list below. Most of us here have no problem paying for the things you mention, unforunately even those items now have very little budget since government is sucking everyone and everything dry to fund its plitically-correct agenda and other useless spending. Obama says we can afford more taxes... it must be so. Afterall, he has been right all along!

 

Oh I see. You're one of those special people who knows which are the correct things we should be spending taxes on. As opposed to all the wrong things. Like NPR! and art museums....All those wastes of our hard working Amurican's taxes!

 

Nice to see this friendly thread degrade into a battle of uninformed opinions.

 

Wow... you really have no feel for sarcasm aye?

Above post is right. I apologize for following up on off-topic posts, especially since it attracts the wrong type of hostile attention.

 

Correct.

And what's with the condescending use of "Amurican"?

 

lol.. i tried to spark the true ignition of this thread back to life a few post back but it seems as if i have failed... oh well.

 

Lucid, I hope you got your Porsche.

 

Cops don't get to you until after you've been raped. As for the infrastructure, if you haven't noticed, it's already crumbling but the government's going to raise taxes to cover the repairs.

 

Great and entertaining thread. I am by no means a wealthy person - saved up a long time for my CTT. But I bought a Porsche because it is my automobile of choice. I love the workmanship, the feel & handling and the satisfaction the machine gives me when I travel about. When I am in a Porsche, I am in my own world (fully aware of what's going on while driving) and do not drive to show others my world. When the time comes, I have the most fun and enjoyment in my Porsche when no one is around. In my opinion, a person should obtain things, for themselves, to satisfy their own needs/desires. I believe owning a Porsche is absolutely a personal matter and something a person should want. I've driven many other exotic automobiles but the one that gives me "those feelings" is a Porsche. As is alluded to early in this thread, buy it because you want it. Don't worry what others think. Also, early on, in this thread, because of where you live, you might want to think of getting an AWD Porsche. Good luck.
