...there is no amount of money so small nor so tax payer so pitiful that the govt would show the slightest hesitation in taking it. That said, I have read articles about imputed income they want to tax. For example if you own a house and that house is paid for and you could rent that house for $1000.00 per month but are living in it yourself, they want to tax the money you are saving by owning your own home as ordinary income.
Another diabolical plot is in regard to ya healthcare. If you have insurance and get some horrendous disease and your insurance company pays out $100,000 or so on ya, they want to tax that as ordinary income as well.
The second idea was proposed by hillary back when bill was the first black president.

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
