[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For high earners, taxes are completely forced charity.[/quote] OP is suggesting that he pay more taxes because he is too lazy to keep records of his deductions. That's just wasting money. Since he doesn't seem to have tax or financial advisors to help I am guessing he doesn't actually make enough to throw extra money to the government.[/quote] The crazy thing is that most people making average incomes don't have the money to maximize all tax deductions. Try maxing retirement (29000 I believe), state 529 deduction (4000ish), FSAs (7800), and itemized deductions above the standard deduction on the median US or even DC area income. You just have to pay taxes on most of your income. Optimization is a rich people problem. [/quote]
