Okay, back from my short work trip. Today is my daughter's 14th B-day. I just installed a perimeter fence and the machine gun in the roof should be finished in 2 weeks. I only had to pay a customs big wig $2k to call me if Jay ever enters the Us.

Oh yeah, I am pumped for my alma mater's game tonight against West Virginia. Go Bulls!

My son and I would joke about being on the porch either lifting weights or cleaning guns when guys came over to pick up my niece. Turns out there was no need, as my sister is batshit-insane and scared the hell out of every boy who showed any interest.

goofy,

What did you put on your W4? Also, How much is CA state and your local taxes? If you are including the 7.65% FICA then it's not that hard to get to 38%. (I am assuming that you will be in the 28% Federal bracket.)

NSFW: Natalie Portman Naked

I've heard she did full frontal nude scenes for Closer and then talked the director into not using them.

I am confused by the line of conversation.

I got the new neteller card today but I am still confused what it exactly is. Can I use it to pay for [censored] in stores without a fee? Do I use it as a creditcard or an ATM card? Support sucks.

I forget on the W4, I think I opted for the largest number of exemptions I could get away with so they would withhold less. (edit: 2 exemptions)

On my latest pay statement:
Federal income tax: 20.5%
Social Security tax: 7.3%
Medicare tax: 1.7%
California Income tax: 7.3%
California SUI/SDI tax (what?): 0.7%

Growing up I'd always pictured myself being cool with paying a decent amount of taxes to support the benefits the government provides us, but I guess I've become significantly more disillusioned with the U.S. government since then. Maybe I'll feel better about it after a Democrat gets elected.

Surely not for Goofy's current pay bracket?

England has an income tax (not including national insurance etc) of 40% max, and this is only if you earn over $80k.

Especially after your 20.5% goes up to 25.5%.

goofy,

Considering that you will owe that money at the end of the year that wasnt taken out now and for poker the max exemptions are a bad idea.

I figured that was coming, I just feel like the government is probably gonna rape me for the rest of my life so I might as well be happy with how they're spending the money.

What? I plan on getting a fairly large refund come January.
