I wish she would have pursied the line of questioning further.. Its not charity? Its something we are compelled to do by society? Ok. Show me in the Constitution where we agreed to give Congress the power to compel me to contribute to Welfare, Social Security, and Medicare? To Croynism and Graft?

Or  - individual contributions won't be enough, but compulsory ones will be? Okay, tell me how we will know when we have reached that point?

Or "Every heard of leading from the Front" - Don't liberals believe in setting a good example and  populist movements? If not, isn't that the same as saying that you only support government force and fascism as the only possible means to your end?

Translated: I have a gaggle of CPA's who protect me from paying "my fair share". You should too.

In my moonlighting job I am giving the same advice.

Sucks, doesn't it?  Instead of being able to use your income as you see fit, you have to first think of stuff you can do to keep it out of the hands of the bloodsucking looters!

ETA - I hope you get good good depreciation advice (S.179 is nice on the Fed side, sucks royally on MN state side) and I think everyone knows how bad payroll bonus payments are, I've been recommending extra regular paychecks instead to avoid tax overreach!

No bonuses only supplemental checks which seemed to
fall close to those important solar phases.
