$160,417.26



I just did my taxes today. I paid $160,417.26 to the US government in 2006. In addition, I paid $8,586.88 in miscellaneous Colorado state taxes. That's enough to turn someone republican!

Not hardly. The Republicans have been on such a spending spree that economists have suggested that tax rates would have to go up 50% to cover it all. Either that, or withdraw medical care from old people.

I was just sitting at my desk running some numbers for my business and feeling self conscious about how big they were. But your number makes my number feel very small. ;-)

Been looking at your interests and web page. We have some interesting things in common. Ever get out to SF?

Jeebus, $160k in taxes alone? What kind of figures are you pulling down net?

Yikes! I'm meeting my tax guy in 30 minutes. I already know I made less than poverty level and my expenses exceed my income by about 5 times. Thank gods for a supportive partner who insists I chase my dream for a couple years.

Turn away from the dark side, Luke!

I'm still waiting for my accountant to churn the numbers.
