I get mine friday... I am fully prepared to get F@CKED by the Long Schlong of the Obama administration as I pay more in taxes than I actually get deposited into my account

A lot of smart people say don't fight the Fed... my view on taxes is don't fight rationality or your beliefs on what is right or wrong. Just slowly bend over, take it, and hope that its over soon. 39.6% federal, 7.5% NY state, 3% Medicare, 3.5% NY State, and 6% of your first 110k for Social Security. And don't forget the property taxes, 8-9% sales tax, 20% capital gains tax, 3.8% Obamacare tax on capital gains, 20% dividend tax, and all of the others. I just accept the fact that I should be content if I have enough left over to drink PBR, eat lots of steak, and watch college sports in HD.

3.5% NY state should read 3.8% New York City
