Certainty?

If Ben Franklin is to be believed, then nothing is certain but death and taxes.  I've spent the last few hours on the latter with the help of TurboTax, which I snagged off a friend of mine.  The fact that he got the "Premier" version complete with Investments & Rental Property tells me 2007 was a good year for him.  Cheers to that!

Unfortunately, the government must have thought it was a good year for us too, because they want us to send in more money.  

As a voting issue, taxes are #1 for me, which is a large part of the reason I'm unlikely to vote with the rest of the household this November.  Or with the rest of most of the people I know for that matter.
