You still have to pay the money - you just get an extension on the paperwork, which has never made any sense to me.InternetJunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086853535625790913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986597.post-77014886373615169312007-03-07T09:10:00.000-05:002007-03-07T09:10:00.000-05:00i never said it was a stupid idea. in fact, i eve...i never said it was a stupid idea. in fact, i even considered it on a few occasions. like sumo said, if we were all in a positive cash flow position and could do it, i say let's do it! but being one of the "just above poverty level" people in this country (because i work in education), i can't afford to do this, and i know that i am in the unfortunate majority of low income taxpayers. fact remains, i pay over 20% of my entire salary in taxes - when someone that makes 10 times what i make pays less than 10%. this is NOT equitable and i challenge you, brit, to figure out how a protest can reverse those numbers so someone that makes little to no money pays little to no taxes and those that make a shitload of money pay a shitload in taxes. that is your mission, if you choose to accept it, but if you are caught we will deny your existence and disavow any connection to you. this message will self destruct in 5 seconds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986597.post-60819958269831303752007-03-07T01:36:00.000-05:002007-03-07T01:36:00.000-05:00Not a dumb idea at all...the thing that ruins it a...Not a dumb idea at all...the thing that ruins it are the families that have to have their money. If we were all in a position to just say screw it for this time...it would have some impact...but unfortunately the "pur" people need their coin.
