My pharmaceuticals cost me very little, Scott. My taxes are horrific.
This, afterall, *is* the Commonwealth of Massachusetts where you pay
an income tax, a sales tax, a property tax, an excise tax (on your
automobiles every year - it's supposed to pay for roads/bridges -
riiiiiiight. And, since I am more than 70 1/2, I have to remove a
certain percentage of my 401K each year even tho I do not want to or
need to. The taxes on that are horrific and I expect will get worse.
So much for saving for my old age. Obama's intended increase in
capital gains will hit *everyone* very hard.
