Yesterday I visited the tax man, got my taxes completed, and found out the amount of my return.

In the process I discoverd that because of all my hard work and perserverance iin obtaining a promotion and raise that my taxable income bracket had changed. How much you ask? An 8 fuckin percent increase!

Jesus Christ I'm paying more in taxes than I made in my first year working at this company and I'll tell you something else, My return was shitty. If it wasn't for my house and a few medical bills I wouldn't have gotten anything back.

Okay, with all that being said I would like someone out there to explain to me the earned income credits (which I having no children) do not qualify for and how someone who makes 1/4 the amount that I do can bring home a return worth more than all the money i paid in?

What the fuck? Am I being too sensitive (or insensitive?) I don't know where this is going but I just wanted to get it off my chest.

I invite all to please comment and enlighten me.

Thanks
