thanks for the explanation! I kind of like that phrase....I also get a "ghetto Christmas check" every year too...(because of the properties mortgage interest etc)....and the thought of having to PAY taxes is just so depressing!
I did not even think about commonwealths....all I know is that NJ is one of the MOST expensive states to live...car insurance, real estate taxes...they chew away at my income....it costs me $600.00 per year just to park my car at my job..they deduct it right out of my paycheck along with union dues (which re $60. per month).
I will give my accountant a chuckle with that phrase....
