damn taxes i just calculated how much taxes are being deducted from my check..
39.8% !!
and i'm married! wtf?!?!?
pretty much 40% in taxes?! god damn usa's government are greedy bastards
at that rate i might as well move to a socialist country, get taxed just as much, but get more for it...

its un real. my buddy has no write offs (same as me) made more Money, and got back 3K+
he owes a ton of money tho on trucks cars, sleds ect ect, so his debt to income is huge, and they give him a brake. i just dont get it, so because i try to pay my stuff off and not get over my head they decide to **** me in taxes. lol i just dont get it.
i wont even go into what taxes cost us for the company

still not as bad as your northern neighbor
. How bout paying 50% tax on gas, 15% sales tax on everything but food, 450 for registering a car at 5.7 litre engine size. They take about on avg 55% of your income goes to taxes, here in quebec, and thats not including the other taxes i mentioned, thats just fed/provincial income tax.

I wish I made enough per year to have to give back $36k in taxes for a year.

ehh, most Canadians dislike the healthcare, waiting in lines, take a ticket, its run like a business, ive been to one clinic, last time i go back. Inside was like a african UN tent it seemed, lol, rags everywhere, some blood, guy didnt speak english at well at all and his french was bad to boot. When i was in the states i paid 54 a month for healthcare, dental, optical. If i want the same coverage, i have to pay about 74 a month PLUS all the stupid taxes so if add up the cost, its not worth it. For any major surgery, i would be scared to be operated here, just how i feel, since if they screw up, there's not much i could collect if they messed up and i was hurt for life. Still can't get a family doctor...

Time to move back home Mike... if she loves you, she'll come with you.
What can you do about taxes, nothing.... talk to a good accountant and find out what you need to do to decrease you're taxable income. A good example is a flexible spending account for healthcare. They pull out pre-tax money that gets put into an accout to which you pull from to pay for anything medical. This includes doctor visit co-pay, medicine (prescription and OTC), and it also is good for kid stuff too like formula and diapers. This way you are using pre-tax dollars to pay for it, you lower your taxable income and with other deductions, you can get into a lower taxable bracket.
I also joined our counties HAZMAT team as a volunteer which also gets me a tax deduction. Everything counts, spend your money wisely, figure out what you can do to lower your taxable income level and you should be better off.

right before i moved up, it was a shitty job, but the benefits were decent, add on the avg increase of healthcare and you still don't equal what i would be paying just for dental,prescription coverage from the provincial government.
so say 54 dollars 2 years ago, well say maybe today it would be 70 bucks, but that still covers a lot and to me much cheaper. Ive lived in the states and ive lived here the past 2 years. You get taxed on tax here. Maybe it would be a decent deal if they didnt charge so much tax elsewhere but if you add up how much the avg canadian pays in taxes a month extra just for the Social Health insurance, it adds up to more than what most people would pay for a private plan.
and for the grammar police

i live wherever it is most comfortable to live at the moment. i didn't have a burning desire to serve in the military, so i moved. what of it?
i know idiots such as yourself in a lot of countries - ones that possess, what seems like, one brain cell. so i'll tell you what i've been telling others - **** off
