Taxes

Like most of you, I hate taxes.
Now before anyone starts bitching and says "But taxes make essential services work". I fucking know that. In the part of my country I live, we are taxed on everything; Food, gas, clothing, etc. You get the picture. Now what really bothers me right now about taxes is I happen to be a parent. Being a parent (and an angry one at that) you can assume that I am divorced/seperated/whatever. This means that I pay child support. I want to make it clear that I have no issue with child support. I made the child(ren) therefore I should have to pay to raise it/him/her/them. What really pisses me off here is the fact that I pay my taxes on my income (a significant portion of my check) and then (you guessed it) I have to pay my child support out of what is remaining. This is fine, however I have a shitty job. I make very little money. I live in a city that has an excessive cost of living. They base my child support off of my before tax income. Not my after tax income. This is kindof FUCKED here is it not? Child support is not tax deductible either. I got to take it up the ass on my tax return. Did I mention I was told by my tax prefessional that I cannot claim my offspring on my taxes? That's Right! I cannot claim a dependant because even though I pay for my offspring, my offspring does not live with me.
I am sitting here in a terrible mood.
