ORIGINAL: wnyThroatLover Here's a question about taxes... I'm going to use figures from 2 years ago... That year I made 32,000, my parents made over 500,000 (WELL over, might I add) I paid more in taxes than they did, and my return at the end of the year was exponentially smaller... That is fair...how? Lets look at the facts. How much did you invest, what effort, or what did you risk to get your 32 grand? what effort, investment, risk, etc did your parents make to get their cash? Lets see... Parents - cars paid off, house paid off, college loans paid off... Me - still paying for car, still paying rent, still paying for college Otherwise, gas and car insurance (the general working investments of the average working person) Except, my round trip was 1.5 hours a day, theirs was 10 minutes COMBINED, not to mention the redonkulous difference in not only car insurance (I pay twice what they do every 6 months, they are combined, Im alone) and the difference in gas prices (same state, but where I am gas is generally 10-15 cents more per gallon than back home). The way I see it, I invested more every day to work than they did. We dont gamble on stocks, my family works for its money. Nice try, again, what sacrifices did mom and dad have to make to get the cash to pay for the car, houses, etc. etc. Or did the "good fairy" dump a load of cash on them? What does their past, leading up to that point, have to do with that year's effective tax rate?!? NOTHING!! They obviously structured their income based on past income and investments to use legal tax laws to arrive at their tax rate. Yes...they structured their income...suuuuuuuure. they don't just go to work and let the government take whatever out of their check like normal people...noooooooooo. They do the same thing I do, same tax forms and all!
