Anyways, my accountant just sent me my 2012 tax statement and I paid US$38,000 in direct (income) taxes alone so that's enough for a second class citizen, I think.

The Russian ambassador and I had lunch today, and I found out I had paid $54,000 in income taxes alone.

How much more would you pay if the government recognized same-sex marriage?

Maybe Poland really isn't so bad, if it takes away enough of Martinus' money to buy a shitty house or a nice car every year.
He's evading taxes.  What ever happened to 'Treason!  Kill them!'
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Is he?  I missed that.  Take him out behind the chemical sheds, then.

I am sure every single one of those tax dodging dollars is just as rationalized by its owner as Martinus'

Isn't that enough money to buy a whole village in Poland?
