(In case you're wondering -- you're likely being downvoted for calling the parent 'Broseph' -- it's a bit of a pejorative, which is uncalled for in HN's mostly civil discourse)
I'd like to think he got downvoted because his information was wrong (which it might be, I'm not sure, as I am not an authority on taxes).
Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
For what it's worth, the tax information is more or less accurate to the best of my knowledge.
Alright, you got me, they do say that in the rules after all. But, I still don't think "broseph" is bad. People call each other bro(seph) in real life all the time and it's usually a synonym for "dude", "hey", "listen". I'd say OP was going for a funny comment rather than a derisive one.
