Wife and I are off about $170,000 2009 vs 2008. Only satisfaction is that we paid less in taxes. 2010 is looking to be as bad or worse than 209. If there are a lot of folks like us then the Fed Gov. is in for a world of hurt.
In a truly sick way, I think there are many people in Washington thrilled that you are making less money. They are so far removed from how we wage earners bring in the bucks for their social programs that they spit on us and hope we fail.
2010 is going to be OK for me, if I don’t get taxed to death.
Oil price is up, but I am not going to hire a single new person; all contract.
You are not alone... tax revenues are going to be a bit off this year...
