The real trick would be for the federal government to stop spending so much money. And the middle class, believe it or not, are getting more money back collectively than we are putting in.{http://cnsnews.com/news/article/ter...ome-taxes-bottom-40-paid-91-got-average-18950 }So, more tax breaks for the middle class isn't the answer. And the amount of people not paying ANY taxes is ridiculous. And taxing the rich more doesn't even put a dent in the federal liability pie. So, as I said the best bet is less spending and we would also do well with a fair tax or flat tax.

I only give $5 and that's because the UW is not the best charity to put your money into. There are better organizations that doesn't pay their CEO millions and actually use more of the money to the cause they are supporting....and the UW donation....cheap bastard grosses $1,800 yet only gives $2 to UW...
You really might want to be more observant and less judgmental as maybe people have different reasons on how they want to donate wherever they want. I give money elsewhere and only gave the $5/week to shut up management about it.
And this year we had a driver who got sick and tried to seek help from a UW sponsored organization. They turned him down and refused to help. So a lot of us will be putting $0 next year.

We make too much money to seek help or, more importantly, to not help those less fortunate.

We already help those less fortunate. It's called paying 500-700 a week in taxes.

You need to increase your 401K and adjust your W-4.

Wow you are leaving thousands upon thousands of the table by being a "runner gunner". Just think how much more you could put in your 401k and maybe buy ups stock too. I have way more deductions and taxes and my 401k is at 20% and I bring home twice as much as you every week after all that.
Maybe running gunning isn't worth it? You're missing out on possibly a million more over your career in a well invested 401k.
