If you want to REALLY get mad, figure out all the other taxes you pay - gasoline, sales, etc. My son-in-law did here while back. It was SEVENTY PERCENT by the time all "hidden" taxes were factored in.

Hey Judy--just got a property tax notice--my property taxes are going up 28% this year.

Our city sales tax is now at 8.2% and hotel tax in Arizona is now at 13%.

Our automobile license taxes run between $100 to $500 per year, depending on the age of the car.

When I look at all the taxes we pay (also counting social security and Medicare taxes, there is no question that hubby and I are paying more than 50% of our income in some kind of tax.

I've often wondered about that.... I figured if I tracked it I would go beserk at the end of the year.
