>It is looking like my day will be bracketed with rock and roll. There are certainly worse ways to finish out the summer. From the clip I posted of John Fogerty and Bruce Springsteen at the rock and roll HOF concert I am now watching Bruce and Tom Morello playing "Ghost of Tom Joad." Bruce is no slouch on guitar but the nightwatchman burns him down on his own stage. Amazing.

>>I don't know if they still have that - but yes it was an audit red flag...not that it matters in my case as I have a twin sister with an almost identical name, identical birthdays, SS #'s one digit apart - we get audited EVERY YEAR. If anyone out here ever has twins don't give them cutesy names like "victor" and "victoria" and save them from a life of headaches. .

I think tax rates should go up with the greater the means to pay. However I do not think it should go so high as to negate your increased effort to increase your return.
