    Okay, get me started...........

    I'm self employed. Adding up Federal & State Income Taxes, FICA & Medicare = 50.6% of gross

    Now toss in Massachusetts Mandated health insurance = almost 10% of gross

    Next we have Real Estate, Personal Property and Excise Taxes = 5 % of gross

    THAT'S 65.6% OF MY GROSS THAT THE GOVERNMENT TAKES OR MANDATES THAT I SPEND.........

    Of the 34.4% of income remaining, Mass pays a 6.25% sales tax, and a 85 cent/gallon (FED & STATE COMBINED) tax on gasoline. Then we have taxes on utilities, fuel oil, cable, and telephone, municipal waste collection fees, meals taxes, ........ figure an average of 5% tax on all "purchases and government costs)

    Which leaves me with a net of about 30% of my gross.

    IS ANYONE ELSE FURIOUS ABOUT THIS?

    Nope. That time passed by over 10 years ago. We need to get serious now!

    Just wait - who do you think is gonna' have to pay for the trillions of extra dollars our clowns in Washington, in our local statehouses, and in our local governments are now p!ssing through? Can you say, "ANOTHER $@*&%!% tax increase?"

    Hope, I'm about to send the government my entire gross income together will my monthly bills. Let them pay my $%&*#$% bills and necessities and just tell me how many more hours I need to work each week (over the 60 I work now) so I can just send them that money too. I'm seething over this.

    I try to avoid this subject because whenever I talk about it I'm just ready to explode!

    By the way, in my profession, you can't stop working for a client just because he or she decides to stop paying you. The courts rarely allow it. Hell, it would DELAY JUSTICE! As if our legal system has a damn thing to do with justice - IT DOESN'T! Naw, we just gotta' keep working and spending money on our clients' cases for free. We don't need to eat, right?

    EDIT: I had to delete some of this post. Trust me, I would have paid dearly if it had fallen into the wrong hands.........

    SO.....I know that you are happy for those of us who have "NO" State Income tax, "NO" State or local SALES TAX, And the state gasoline tax (.08 cents) was suspended for two years.

    The math is a bit complicated, but that would effectively increase my net income by about 33%.

    I thought some places in Alaska do have sales tax. I think Wasilla does. But regardless it is total BS. And the Government wonders why people can't pay their bills.

    Alaska to Florida, for how long, who knows...
