Uh, no, I don't.=20

Then again, I never said that everyone pays all of those taxes annually. =


What I said was that our tax rate is much more than just federal + state =
+ property taxes.=20

When you add up how much we *do* pay in taxes, it's over 40% per year.=20

That's all I said; and I'm right.=20

Best,
Dale
