I'll ditto that ditto and I'll raise you a same again, with one
addition. My taxes went up 20 per cent in the Bush admin. My salary did
not appreciably increase. Because Bush pushed a bill through congress
that reduced the amount taken out of each check in his last days, I just
paid off my horrendous 1992 tax bill. My '93 and '94 tax bills were slight
by comparison. Of course, I'm just a working stiff. Those people who can
actually pay their tax bills off with a stroke of the pen have been hit
harder lately. They're the ones who can afford to pay lobbyists to wine
and dine Newt and Bob (and write it off on their 1040s as a business
expense).
