Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm a CPA. I have been doing taxes since I graduated in 1984. [View all]
Initially for KPMG. And on to a large local firm then working for Sandia Labs auditing government contracts. In 2000 I started my own business while raising a family. Still doing it even tho my youngest is 27. Love my aging clients. Im aging with them.
But man. Is it HARD.
To see first hand how the middle class is over taxed in this country compared to the wealthy. Those with wages, hard earned pensions, IRA distributions, and social security? Compared to the wealthy with qualifying dividends and capital gains?
Its really hard this year.
I always do my best for each and every client.
But our tax system is jacked when it comes to working folks and those that retire as such.
(Oh and believe me the wealthy are not reinvesting in the economy they are hanging on to the money and they will be back with more sheltered income and tax breaks next year).
