I mind it very much! My FIT was $70,000 in 2000. CA SIT was $19500 that year. My income taxes exceeded the balance on my home mortgage. The only refuge I have from this outrageous confiscation is to divert as much as possible to pre-tax retirement funds and hope that my rates will be lower when I am forced to start removing it at 59 1/2.
Sorry I forgot the sarcasm tag.
My friend, you are the exception and are rich.
