you are talking income tax only. You still haven't included sales tax, property (and school) tax, and tax for anything else you might have to pay for. My property tax is going to be 5k/year. 3k of which is for elementary/high school even if I never have a child, or if I send him to private school. The town school taxes are so high in NY that the NY state government decided they would start the STAR program which essentially is a state rebate on your local town taxes. Obviously something is really screwed up. Rather than lower taxes, we now have to pay people who manage our rebate on our tax because it is too high.

Do you go to syracuse university?

I used to. I should be heading back there soon though for more education. My work will pay for me to go to school so I might as well take advantage of it.
