Seriously Alloha, this is meant to be a professional site.

KTM is making a genuine enquiry and explaining his reasoning. I personally don't think coming here is a great idea but who knows his exact circumstances.

While I and I'm sure KTM completely support the principle of taxes to help unfortunates whose circumstances are beyond their control and for the benefit of all in general, I too object to excessive tax. At some point it would make us all wards of the state when all we want is to pay a reasonable tax and be allowed to take care of our own futures.

And given the levels of government corruption, incompetent spending and their general inability or unwillingness to tax those who can well afford it, like the major corporations whose tax rates are lower than the bottom of the rung taxpayers, I too have serious issues when the middle class has to pay the total bill.

When Goldmann Sachs, Monsanto, Starbucks, Apple and the all the rest pay 53% tax, you can have a go at KTM but right now he's just trying to get by like the rest of us.

He's exploring his options and willing to work. That's good enough for me.
