Where do YOU live and are you still employed or retired?
All I can say is that being retired (and only doing direct work for myself and the fam), I no longer have to be taxed for my time spent doing same.
It’s a great relief to no longer have the governments putting me in their tax slave chains for ~ 40% of my working hours.
Not that that they don’t still get a great amount of revenue from saved/accumulated/stored previous work.
Every day is FREE now.
Free at Last!, Free at Last!, Good Lord Almighty, Free at Last!
California. We retired in the middle of 2017, so we'll be fully retired next year. One on social security. The other with a modest pension (not government, teacher, union, etc.). My estimates are comparing the current tax rates with the proposed tax plans without taking a deduction for state income or sales tax. As it is, that deduction would be less than $1,000.
