of the cuts went to the top tier of income earners, e.g., the 1%ers (it was slightly more than this percentage, but you get the grist)...Yeah, we all got kicked in the 'you know what'...

That said, I doubt I'll owe very much. I'm retired. My income is from a small pension, two annuities, social security, and what I take from my investments. I have some taken from one of the annuities for estimated taxes. Maybe it will be enough, maybe not. I honestly don't sweat the taxes. We all need to pay them. Taxes pay for things like roads and schools. We all drive on the roads. Most of us used to have kids in schools. And even now, think of it this way: you want to have people reasonably well educated who will be taking care of you in the nursing home down the line.

What the rich do or don't pay is one thing. Meanwhile, please keep in mind what our taxes pay for and quit pissing and moaning.

I would also like it better if the rich paid taxes at the same percentage.

If yes, you have two more checks - if paid monthly - and four more if paid semi monthly.

I would suggest to ask your payroll dept to deduct $250 more from your each of your next checks (if bi monthly). Don't bother with changing deductions now. Payroll cad withhold extra amount.

Good luck.
