Define 'fair' regarding taxes. Please include in your description; work and travel schedules, money earned annually, education received, years of service, and total employed (yup, I pay taxes on them too).
At what point in the year should taxes be paid in full assuming keeping nothing for oneself, utilizing the factors above.
How much is enough?
