Here is the original form that started the path to the TEA Parties:
IRS Form 1040 (Circa 1913) - 4 pages
Page 1 - Summary sheet
Taxable income
1 per cent on amount over $3,000 and not exceeding $20,000

Additional taxes
1 per cent on amount over $20,000 and not exceeding $50,000
2 per cent on amount over $50,000 and not exceeding $75,000

I love the little 1913 calculator!   According to THAT little ditty, I should only pay about $1,600. instead of the quadruple I pay now.

Does that mean you are not getting your money's worth from government for the taxes you pay?

Nah CV,  I am very comfortable rebuilding Iraq/Afghanistan, paying for the ISS, subsidizing a retirement system I may never see a penny of, and helping Big Oil stay profittable.devil

wyatt1sc,
You are showing one of two things!
1- You do not know how to do math (that would be my guess INHO ) Adult ed offers math classes
2- You do not know how to manage money - based on your post you you would have an income of aprox,  $70,000! Not likely IMHO

1% up to $20,000 = $200
+2% of  $70,000 = 1,400
          Total tax = $1,600
Sometimes no response is best!

And sometimes not showing your ignorance of other's lives is a good thing too. Of course, being you're so in touch with everyone's business except your own makes you less informed than you should be.surprise
 
 Suggest you return to participation in your daddy's radio show and catch up on what I've been doing for the past decade ( and also what they also don't know about me, my family operations or my state-licensed businesses).
 
Sometimes, no post is better than a idiotic one Mark.grin
