Welcome back Spoggy.... Much better post. Backed up with references to your claim, etc. Bravo

As to the subject matter at hand... well, I'm not a tax expert, and at 99,000+ pages long for the tax code, I truly doubt that anyone is. It's designed to be confusing deliberately. Anyway, I'm not going to comment on Willy's stats or Spoggy's rebuttal... I WILL however simply say that as it stands right now the taxes are just too damned high. Don't forget that you're only talking about "some" of the federal and state taxes... when you add in sales taxes, property taxes, gas taxes and all the hidden taxes in everything from your phone to the drink in the local Bistro you're already paying far more than you used to... and they are constantly going up as each crooked politician needs more money to pay out as bribes to the people that are keeping him or her in office. I am really starting to think that the people of France, during their revolution, had the correct idea for their crooked politicians.
