Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 This is our first full year for me with SS and private disability. When Mike finished our taxes last night, I was horrified at how much we owe again. It is getting worse ad worse instead of better. He says the reason is we are having to withdraw money from an IRA to pay for expenses...certainly not our wild , crazy and fun life style! I do not understand how and why SS should be taxable. They give it to you and then snatch it right back again! It just seems so unfair for people who have such huge pharmacy and medical expenses to have to pay such huge taxes when are hardly making it. The good ole American way! Ha! It all really depresses me.. and Mike. We will have to take all year paying off our taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 We owe more than what I get on disability.

" They made a couple of very interesting comparisons about the " down-trodden peasants " of back- then against the modern day " middle class " . The " work burden duty " that peasants owed the Lord of the Manor was 40 days a year. It currently takes on average at least 80 just to earn enough to pay the annual income tax. Ain't progress grand!
