Very clever, as usual. However, your tax commentary is slightly off base and, as an accountant, I must take exception.<BR/><BR/>Yes, my husband should not complain about tax brackets, ever. I have often said that people who complain about being taxed at the highest tax bracket should offer to switch lives with someone who actually gets to take the Earned Income Credit, pay no taxes, but has to eat Ramen noodles in their government subsidized apartment with roaches. <BR/><BR/>However, the 50% has NOTHING to do with his tax bracket and EVERYTHING to do with the big surprise he got when he found out that in addition to personal income taxes on his S-corp profits, he pays payroll taxes, submits payroll withholdings, and pays Washington state B&O taxes . . . all tax vehicles for various governments that heretofore were completely unknown to my beloved virgin businessman.<BR/><BR/>I just felt compelled to set the record straight, lest the general public think we are ROLLING in dough. If we were ROLLING in it, I guarantee my skin would have that fresh glow that can only otherwise come from a $250 spa massage and sea salt scrub. <BR/><BR/>Love you anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-1156438052227055392006-08-24T09:47:00.000-07:002006-08-24T09:47:00.000-07:00Just read your August 6 blog in which you ran $20 ...Just read your August 6 blog in which you ran $20 up to more than $300. Then you commented about your new business having to pay fifty percent tax. <BR/> <BR/>My first comment is that you're not going to get a lot of sympathy from fellow poker players once they realize how much money you have to earn in order to be locked into a fifty percent tax braket. "What the hell," they will mumble. "We're struggling to cover our next blind, and this doctor chako dude is throwing his 'fifty percent' in our faces!"<BR/> <BR/>As for Librarian or Libertarian, the Librarian says, "Let's pay attention to generous government grants," while the Libertarian says, "Let's pay no attention to worthless government rants."<BR/> <BR/>Hunter Silvastorm<BR/>P.S.
