I’ve been thinking about the greater good for this country. I’m middle class and have decided that I am going to pay an extra $10 on my taxes this year in order to help out. I hope that it brings more jobs to this country.

It won't.

:D Good for you, I'm sure the bureaucrats in DC will be happy to spend your hard earned $10 on some wasteful project or hand it to their cronies.

By doing this you have basically deprived someone in the private sector of an hour worth of labor. You could have spend that $10 on a coffee or lunch or a CD, etc, which would support jobs in those sectors. All the government does with tax dollars is literally destroy them (to erase dollars made up out of thin air by the FED to support government deficit spending).

That would require that the politicians in DC have the greater good of this country in their best interest, which they don't.

That extra $10 will probably cost the govt at least $15 in trying to figure how they got an extra $10 and what to do with it.

Just for making that statement they have labeled you a terrorist, it's now going to cost them $327,892 a year to monitor your every move.

Next time, just donate a goat or some chickens to some random village in a third world country. That way you can save the US millions of dollars in red tape and shipping expenses.

Well thank you.

It's now $10hr min wage in San Fransisco so you are potentially saving one worker's job everyday. Good for you :thumbsup:

Congratulations, by my calculations your $10 contribution just paid for around one quarter of a microsecond of federal spending.

Your $10 won't help the debt death spiral. Need to raise taxes 50% and cut spending 50% to do it.

I mean a real cut too like Medicaid/Care from 900 billion to 450 billion etc

I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.
