	Remember that I _am_ self-employed, and see some of the deductions
that businesses get to take.  My AGI and total gross income is different.
But you may have a point, since that "self-employment tax" takes a good chunk.

	It does seem that:

		AGI - Tax = Constant (or very close)

	Rates have changed some, as we discussed before.  It's closer to
$45/month than $30/month anymore...
