I just saw where the top tax rate in Noo Yawk could easily be as high as 60%...I don't care how rich you are, & I'll NEVER be that rich, but that is just too much...Something is seriously outta whack here...

If you figger in income tax, state tax, sales tax, the "hidden" tax, tax on tax, inflation, etc., etc....even the poorest SOB in America is probably paying around 40% in taxes. Easy.

Sad thing is, even if the Feds taxed everyone at 100% they still couldn't cover their bets. Ain't enough tea in China.

As someone who is debt free, with money in the bank, a few assets, and modest investments...I'm beginning to get a case of the ass. No doubt who they're going to get to pay for their extravagance...cain't get blood outta a turnip...and they can bleed me.

At least the rich can move their money offshore. And don't think they won't, big help for the economy...huh.
