We deal with the specific issues we need to explore in order to achieve (and surpass) our financial goals. In this episode we are examining the issue of “Why I LOVE Paying Taxes! Seriously." Sharing. It is not something that comes easily to all of us humans!Definition of SHARE:": to let someone else have or use a part of (something that belongs to you)"Share. (n.d.). Retrieved July 13, 2014, from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shareDepending on where we live on the planet, what we believe (in terms of ethics, politics, religion, etc.) and what are resources we have, we approach the concept of sharing differently. Specifically, we perceive voluntary sharing (a.k.a. charity) and mandatory sharing (a.k.a. taxation) differently. In the USA, federal income taxes are dependent on resources (how much and what type of classification). Thus, several decades ago when I earned minimum wage at my employment (and had no other assets or income), I did not pay any federal income taxes (due to earning so little income). I now pay federal income taxes and LOVE it! Very simply, I love having more resources and one of the consequences of having more resources is that I share more of them (voluntary and mandatory).  I am grateful to have the opportunity to have the resources and choices that I currently have! © Courtney Anderson Enterprises LLC  CourtneyAnderson.com   [email protected]
