My Life As A Dog

It has been said time and time again that there are only two things in this life that are for certain… Death and Taxes.  I wonder if death would not be so certain if we were not “taxed to death.”   I am in that middle ground group of people.  I earn too much to get any of the tax deduction / credit benefits, but I don’t earn enough to be considered wealthy.   After doing my taxes, I calculated that if I were to earn $9,000 less than I do now, my 2008 income statement would have netted the same amount.  I would have paid less taxes and gained more credits.  There is something wrong with a system that removes motivation for earning more.Ahh, but who do I have to be upset with?  I can’t take my frustrations out on anyone or anything except for an intangible object called the government.  So, I just keep on going.  Moving forward and paying my taxes all while becoming one day closer to death.  Things that are for certain… death, taxes and that I will be walking the dogs as soon as I finish typing this blog entry.
