As for my income tax, I know EXACLY how much Federal Income Tax I paid; I know EXACTLY how much payroll tax I paid, and EXACTLY how much payroll tax my employer paid on my behalf.

No you don't. Not even close.

No you don't. Not even close.

How can you say that? Of course he does. Don't you? Don't you look at you pay stub or your tax return?

[Dimples]

No you don't. Not even close.

Look, the fact that YOU are clueless doesn't mean I don't know how much I paid in taxes last year. I really, really DO know EXACTLY how much I paid in FIT and FICA (EE and ER). And I know approximately how much CIT I indirectly paid (and it wasn't very much.)

Your hyperbole is yet another indication that you are out of your depth in a discussion of the economics of taxation.
