[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
When I moved to Illinois from TN, IL ended up charging me IL state income tax on the income I made in TN before moving. Their "reasoning" was that I hadn't been charged income tax on it, so it was free game to them. I was very displeased.
Damn, now that's just out of line!!
That said, I work in Maryland, live in DC, but have to pay DC income tax (but don't have to pay Maryland's).
Do you have city income taxes too Cashmere, or are you talking about property tax? And what is this school tax?
We have separate municipal taxes. Comes from living in a nice, separately incorporated community nestled within the confines of a very large city. Nice when it applies to police, services, schools, etc. Not so much nice when it comes to paying additional taxes. And the school tax is new this year. A whole 'nother tax just for our particular school system. Which, as it's probably one of the top ten in the state, I'm not complaining about much.
We just took a walk down to the nearby elementary school so that Owen could play on the slide there. I'm so glad some nearby houses have been purchased recently. Our part of the neighborhood is starting to look a little nicer than last year.
Cashmere is the municipal tax based on your income though, or on the value of your property?
We pay Fed. Income Tax (duh); MA State Income Tax; Sales tax (state); Meal Tax (state) and then our real estate taxes are paid to our town, based on property value (which pays for our police, fire, schools, plowing, and other town services).

Oh, it's income based. We pay a whole 'nother property tax (also higher than the surrounding areas) but since it's figured into an escrow account with our mortgage provider, it's a little bit less painful because I don't think about it and don't have to write a yearly check.
Which means we pay federal, state, municipal, school, and property. I can't even think about how much all of it adds up to. But we get relatively good service for our money. Except for the feds at the moment. I'm pretty riled about them funnelling that towards craptacular ideas like this.
I'm afraid to click your link.
Oh, it's income based.Ugh.

It's pretty high though, so I still think about it every month.
I'm sitting here smelling my hands. I bought a large pack of maple flavored bacon today and had to split it up to freeze some of it. Now my hands smell like maple and bacon. Mmmmmm.
Cash is a yummy treat!
But we knew that before the maple and bacon.
I should have white-fonted that for JZ.

But Cash, what about the Ninjas? Who but the feds can protect you from the ninjas?

Not me. I'm a bacon-lovin' fiend, although I remain a devout vegetarian. Bacon is the only meat I truly miss. Perkins, however, has some serious bacon issues. I worry about her. Maybe we should take up a collection.
