[real_change]

Trust me, I pay taxes. My wife and I have over 20k deducted and over the past four or five years have been writing a check to the IRS. Research or not, I'm not paying less taxes my friend. Don't get yourself tired doing research for me real_change. I don't need it.

Now if I were stuck in a job where my hard work didn't get me any promotions or I didn't work even harder keeping my small business increasing what it brings in, my taxes might go down. The harder I work, the more money I make, the more taxes I pay. My net profit gains are not exceeding my tax increases. Sorry, I'm not ready to give Mitch a hug just yet.

you need a new accountant. or tax lawyer.

if you own a small business, you pay your taxes at a personal income tax level. every tax rate went down in 2001/2003 with the bush tax cuts that mcconnell helped ram through congress. child tax credits increased along with standard deductions, depreciation, investment, etc.

i believe you are talking about your tax dollar amount rising. this is understandable if you make more money. however, marginal tax rates dropped in 2001/2003. obviously a buisness making 50k, and one making 50 million have a different tax amount. but regardless, the burden dropped.

if yours didn't, please explain.
