I did a rough draft for my 2009 Taxes and discovered that I am officially poor. My Federal Tax liability was ZERO!!!!! Wow, it really does "pay" not to work for a living. Zero federal taxes. 
THE POVERTY LEVEL FOR FAMILY OF TWO IS $14,500
With just my wife and myself and an adjusted gross income of less than $9,000.00 we are now poor.
Since I am now "officially poor" don't I qualify for a new Cadillac or something?
Where do I go to get the free cheese, utility bill assistance,Section-8 housing assistance and my new LCD television etc.
This is first year since I was 11 years old that I didn't receive a W-2. All income is from dividends,interest, and capital gains.
I don't mean to belittle others out there that are struggling with their bills and having a rough time. Just accept this post for the jest that I mean it to be.
I can stay "poor" as long as my 401-K and savings accounts can continue to diminish each year. I haven't touched the 401K/IRA yet. We're still living off our savings. It helps to have all property and vehicles,etc paid for.
Oh, I sold my Mercury Mountaineer the other day and that helped to pay for a medical bill I just received for services back in August 2008! I've still got a little left over for my annual spring trip to Lake Barkley,KY for a week and all the excursions to the Ohio river by McAlpine dam in Louisville,KY
However, I will gladly accept any and all contributions to the
