Taxes due today

Today, for those who make quarterly payments, was the day that your third quarter tax payments were due.
I had take money out of my account, money that I earned and saved, and give it to those ba$%@^%$ in Washington. Every quarter I get rather annoyed about having to diminish my savings and give the government MY MONEY!! Wouldnt it be nice, if EVERYONE had to make quarterly payments, instead of having taxes automatically deducted. When it is automatically deducted, it is very easy to not realize that the government is taking money from you. But when you have to write a check to the Feds, it is very easy to realize that the government is taking your hard earned money. If everyone had to write a check, more people would be ticked, and would demand lower taxes.
I think there should be a law that employers cannot deduct money from your paychecks. Instead the people themselves would be responsible for forking their hard earned money to the government. The people might start to realize how much of their money is going to the fgovernment.

The same thing can be said for property taxes, most have it included in their house payment....
My six month property tax bill is due the end of the month, won't pay it till the very last day....I know, it's childish...but I feel better doing that way.....
Me? I am an employee. Mine gets held out every two weeks. I make sure that enough gets held out to cover the small gun business as well.

P.S. WHY DO I HAVE TO BE PENALIZED FOR TAKING THE INITIAVE AND STARTING MY OWN BUISNESS ( IN THE FORM OF SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAX?) -Ralph

I'm all for the flat tax.

As far as most people not having the discipline to send it in on their own? Good!
Penalize the heck out of them, throw them in jail!! Then MAYBE they will think about voting for people who wont be so inclined to steal money from them. One day in jail for not paying your taxes on time, or not paying your taxes at all , and Ill bet youll think twice about voting a tax and spender into office.
