I'm still debating with myself whether the few (3 I think?) people in this thread who are having money woes when they/their families make hundreds of thousands of dollars are actually serious or doing it for the 'internet lulz'

Agree.

I believe this to be irrelevant to the first sentence.

Don't go to a private college if your parents can't afford the $45,000 to $50,000 that it will cost per year

Yeah really, I'm busting my ass for $20k/yr, no health insurance, no dental, no car insurance, no energy to do anything but work, and i could really use some of that money the gov takes out of my checks, hate to say it, probably more than you silver spoons.

i like how OP posts to criticize tax policies, or to criticize his tax cheating friends, makes an innocent statement regarding his household income, and buttloads of people jump in to tell him to stfu because they are making less money than he is. Not many people seems to be taking a close look at the numbers OP took the time to dig out and analyze those.

So he's born into a good family, its not like its his fault. stop giving him shit about that

If he wants to cry about how he only is 99% fortunate instead of 100% fortunate in his blog, then he can do that and you/we can ignore it as appropriate. Of course, I think the issue he is discussing is more complex than simply him victimizing himself, the one who is least victimized in the world.

It's just hard to get over the irony of people with lots of money complaining about their money woes for most people. If he wanted to talk facts, it would have been a good idea to leave that part out lol. He says "$250,000, minus $90,000" like everyone is supposed to be shocked and horrified. Sorry, but no one cares. That's 90,000 dollars that everyone from a low income family will be glad to see put to services they can use too.

In a system without government or taxes, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. Genetics hold less value, and it becomes more about who was born where. Personally, I prefer a system where poor people (due to public programs) can climb the ladder a little, and rich people can't stomp on their hands at every step. If your complaint is about loopholes, you should be making suggestions to fix them, not disowning the system all together.

So $260,000 instead of $252,500?
Not as bad as you'd think.

This. People just like to get angry about things, they hear some figure and freak out, when it's not even a very big difference. The only part of the story they tell is how much they're supposedly going to have to pay, not how much the difference is between tax policies. But I guess that's how politics work, half-truths and slandering the other side.
