My little freelance business doesn't earn in the six digits, but I still want to participate. It would be foolish to think the middle class are going to be exempt from tax increases anyway. Heaven knows we can expect payroll tax to go up and as far as I'm concerned, that's the biggest burden I have being in business for myself. What would be great is if some tax guru could throw up a website for us laypeople listing some things we could do to reduce our tax burden besides just earning less at our jobs. Working for cash isn't really an option for me, but I can sure donate as much as possible to charity. What else can we do? What about investments? I'm already moving my 401(k) to an IRA since I anticipate the former will be a thing of the past before this administration is voted out. What other things can we do to minimize taxable income? It would be great if enough people would just flat out refuse to pay taxes to actually make a difference. The Tea Parties are great, and I hope we have one near where I live, but we need a real tea party, one that actually means something. Several million taxpayers telling Obama to eff off would be a tea party with meaning. Starve the Pig sounds like a great idea to me.
