How Discouraging!

Last year when the Mrs. and I did our taxes, we ended up owing about $1000 to the Federal Government. In an attempt to get ourselves closer to zero, we amended our W-4s so that we were claiming married with zero exemptions. Despite the fact that Uncle Sam withheld more from each paycheck, we ended up owing $2000 this year, and nothing's really changed. It's almost enough to make me join the Tea Party.
