There are 250 million people in the country. That comes out to $60 for every person. My family of 5 is responsible for $300. That is too much. And 15 billion divided by 1.5 trillion is 1 cent of every tax dollar not 1/5 of 1 cent. Even if we add state and local it's 1/2 of 1 cent of every dollar. That does add up. Consider a total tax bill of $3000, that's 30 bucks. -rex- -- Work phone: (317) 451-0358 (8-322-0358) Internet: c2xrib@kocrsv01.delcoelect.com (Ick. It's suppose to be ahw.)
