KK,

Issues--something you apparently have some knowledge of. Firsthand?
-----------------------------------------------------------


Are you suggesting that Massachusetts had a progressive state income tax structure?

Sales tax is a fixed %.

Admit it--you're figures didn't include the sales tax factor.

You can ramble on all night and day--it's not going to make your original figures the 'sum of all parts' if one of the parts is sales tax.

Do you know how many states have both state income tax and state sales tax?
