Subject: Re: OT: Have we become Monaco?
I live in New York City, which is blessed with a triple income tax (Federal, State, City), which makes it the most highly taxed spot in the US

LOL, you must have been employed somewhere because you forgot NYC's "unincorporated business tax"...

and despite those taxes, the many years I lived in Manhattan I always took inspiration from the writing of an anonymous poet's words written on the bathroom wall at my local coffee/pastry shop:

I stir my coffee with a fork
I so happy in New York
