If you own your own business, it's easy to pay less than 10% federal, but then there's all the other taxes...

One year when I was a working class slob I logged all the taxes I pay... Fed, State, Sales, Property, Gas (counted only that at the pump, gas is taxed lots even before that), Utilities, Car, etc... It was approaching 70%...

My accountant told me to knock it off, it only serves to irritate me...
