All I can say about taxes is...the payroll tax has to be the most ingenius and sinister thing ever created.

If everybody in this country had to write a check to the govt. every quarter to pay their taxes we would have a revolt.

Instead they get it taken out of their pay before they ever see it. And they always take more than what is needed so the people are all happy when they get money from the govt. at the end of the year.

I'm always amused at guys rejoicing that they got 2 or 3 grand back from the govt and can't wait to buy those new tires for their pickup truck with that money. lol

Never realizing just how much the govt. just reached in and took and then KEPT for a full year without any interest owed.

Of course most of the real adult webmasters on here (not the surfers or guys who work for adult companies) that own their own business already know the truth. Last year I paid $19,000 in taxes every quarter. And if you don't think that hurt...

So yeah, I can definitely see where tax cuts would have helped me to hire someone. I just moved out here to Vegas in Oct. of 2008. And my first order of business was going to be to hire 2 more people to take some of the workload off of me.

But unfortunately the economy completely crumbled at the same time that I moved here.

Now if I could have had access to that $19,000 I paid the govt. in the 4th quarter, I still could have followed my plan and employed two more people. But as it stands now, I need every penny I've got.
