Honestly I am not sure...I never did the analysis. Too much has happened in my life to know for sure since Bush was elected...getting married, buying a condo. My wife and I did get back a $150 refund this year as opposed to paying $2500 last year...and we only bought a house and had it for 1 month for 2002.

Oh and when it comes to all other forms of taxes...not income tax or luxury tax...they are distributed fairly to the rest of the population. We all pay the same tolls, sales tax, gas tax, prepared food tax, tourism tax. The only thing not equal is the income tax and the luxury tax.
