The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.

I always hear about people getting a ton back and it confuses me. This year was the most I've ever gotten back, and it was only like $900.
Two tricks:
1) Have one partner earn far more than the other, and qualify for income-splitting (which dropped her down a tax bracket, but didn't move me up!)
2) Don't work year round, so your employer calculates your payroll tax improperly and you end up paying too much over the part of the year you do work.
= Giant return every year. It's like a forced savings plan!
upstate takes the all of the worst parts of living in a state with the bizarre and strange laws and taxes and awful weather and then combines it with not being anywhere near one of the cultural capitals of the united states
Eddy, you and I are largely on the same wavelength. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Ok so it's not super exciting up here, but I kind of like it that way. No crime, kind of peaceful and quiet. It also means that my vacations will be fun and exciting. Since I actually will make enough money to afford it
PLUS ME, SARKSUS, and LOSERFORHIREX ARE UP HERE, we make things better. obviously.
Uhhhh... Rochester was totally fucking crime-ridden. I didn't exactly hear great things about the crime rates in Buffalo, Syracuse, or Albany, either.
No one gives a shit about Rochester, Buffalo, or Syracuse. Albany has the nicer areas and the crime areas pretty well segregated. I've never had a problem there outside of seeing a few homeless people, and they're in just about any city. In a lot of smaller cities like Saratoga, there's just about no crime at all besides minor shit like pot.
Small cities are complete fucking shit.
And even the larger cities Upstate (i.e. Rochester, Buffalo, Albany, Syracuse, etc.) have basically nothing to do in them, as well as complete shit for services like public transportation. Also, they have some of the worst fucking weather in the country.
So, they have pretty much literally nothing going for them, other than the fact that they are such terrible places to live kind of keeps property values down. But not really, for some incredibly strange reason. I mean, I could live someplace like Texas or Kansas, get much nicer weather, and have roughly the same amount of stuff around for much cheaper.

I'm not saying that Upstate New York doesn't have upsides. For instance, it's such an awful place, that after having to fight there, the British said "fuck it, not worth it" and left. That's important! Having a place so awful that even the British don't want it keeps us safe!
Um, New York was full of British Loyalists during the Revolution. The New York delegates were the only ones to abstain from the vote on independence, and the vast majority of the population were ecstatic to see the British when they took New York City in the early stages of the war.
If you want to thank someone for "America", thank Boston.

To be honest, New York did almost everything in its power to prevent us from splitting from England.

I thought New York abstained because the legislature was too fucking dysfunctional to tell the delegation how to vote. I know that's why New York didn't vote for Washington the first time around, because they couldn't set up an election in time, even just a vote by the legislature instead of the people.

I don't even know what the original conversation was about, but I've been reading a lot of Jeff Shaara lately, so obviously I know everything about American history ever.

I owe $1200.
I owed the state more then $2 this year for the first time. I made less, but they increased taxes so I owed more. Yay!
My adapter is making this high pitched noise when it's plugged in. What's up with it.
She makes $0. Does that work for this?
It's kind of difficult to tell.

Probably not.
Also, my scamming only applies to Ontario, Canada.
I have no idea how taxes work anywhere else in the world. :P
Sorry for birthing your nation. If you don't like us, feel free to go back to being a British colony.
It's the big freakin' block thing.
I just use these things to cruise the internet.
I'll be damned if we go back to paying taxes on tea!
The router?
No.
You know, the thing..the...yeah it's the adapter.

Even though you're a terrible person and you have poor taste in regions and I hate you forever, this did make me laugh.

Honestly, it's better to break even really. It means you paid exactly the right amount of taxes all year.
