After years of state government expansion, corruption,
and incessant spending, the state of Illinois has decided to bail
them selves out of debt by increasing the income tax by 2%.
To some this may make logical sense. The supporters of this tax
would argue that it is only fair for people to be taxed on by
what the make, it would spread the tax burden to all the people
of Illinois who declare a income. They will even argue that the
rich will pay proportionately more in tax.
But that argument does not make much sense to me. After 3 years
of recession, job layoffs, pay cuts, and hard times for the middle
class. The state government is going to burden all of us who have
not lost our jobs or moved to another state.
Many of us in the middle class have had to learn how to live with
less and do more. Before the recession I enjoyed the luxuries
of having spending money, cleaning service, Lawn care professional,
snow removal, and other luxuries. But that is all in the past.
Now it’s more beans and less steak. If I can’t do
it my self I do with out.
After 3 years of financial austerity I have just now began to
start saving a little money. Its not because I am making more
money, but it is because I have learned to live with less.
Good luck to all of you hard working taxpayers out there. I hope
that your elected officials spend your money better this time.
This tax is going to hurt!

Tax inspectors investigating women with fake breasts
Thieves turn them selves in after getting
stuck in elevator
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Breast implants,
a luxury cruise ship and bank robbery victims have become the
latest targets of Argentine tax inspectors battling rampant
evasion in the South American country.
Argentines are notorious for evading taxes, and
it is common to pay for everything from new cars and houses
to breast enlargements with wads of cash, while savers stash
their money in off-shore bank accounts or undeclared in safety
deposit boxes.
Tax inspectors, who have previously targeted modeling
agencies and soccer players, have turned their attention to
the booming trade in breast augmentation -- counting the number
of imported breast implants to calculate surgeons' earnings.
"According to a preliminary assessment, the
companies and self-employed people working in the business are
suspected of evading 40 million pesos ($10 million) in income
tax," the AFIP tax agency said in a statement.
Some 125,000 breast implants worth $15 million
were imported in 2008 and 2009, when women spent an estimated
$170 million on breast enlargement surgery, the agency said.
But it's not just plastic surgeons who are catching
the attention of the AFIP inspectors.
They seized television sets and video players
from a luxury cruise ship when it docked in Buenos Aires in
December, while AFIP chief Ricardo Echegaray called last week
for victims of a daring bank robbery to face inspections over
the contents of 136 safety deposit boxes stolen in the raid.
BERLIN (Reuters) – Two would-be thieves called
in their own crime to police in Germany after they could not escape
from a broken-down elevator over the weekend, police said in a
statement.
"This sounds really dumb," one of the
thieves told police in Cologne over the elevator's emergency phone,
"But I'm afraid that we wanted to break in and the elevator
has gotten stuck."
When police arrived they found the two thieves aged
31 and 37 stuck in the elevator of an office building.
The thieves allegedly broke into the building and
were attempting to reach a higher floor when the elevator became
stuck, the police said.
They decided to phone for help when one thief injured
his hand attempting to pry open the door.
Firemen eventually freed the men and they were arrested.
