Have you received your first pay check for 2013?

One full weekend of racing back in the hands of the Fed's. Hope they make good use of it.

that's right david. The president raised the rate, therefore i raised mine across the board. Me being the evil business owner that the president despises will pass onto the consumer.

ditto!!!

Fred,

Now that I catch your drift, I wish I didn't.

I broke out my calculator, and summing the additional "fair share" of taxes taken out each week, over the next calendar year, my take-home pay is reduced by an amount that is equal to the full expenses for four race weekends.

Not good! Some tough choices may be coming up. Hopefully, we can maximize 3 in 2 races to stretch the racing budget.

Hey Tom,
Not trying to be negative, but we won't live La Vida Loca today on tomorrow's wages. That is just the reality in our house.

I know the tax holiday was a temporary measure meant to stimulate the economy...and we used the extra money as disposable income. Now our disposable income is greatly reduced. Not a complaint, just a statement of fact.

3 in 2 will help... that's for sure!

Now I got to find a motor that will beat that darn Sweeney kid! Hee,hee.

The simple fact that the "tax holiday" stimulated the economy while sustaining or increasing revenue to the government, is absolute proof that higher tax rates are punitive. Welcome to our future. "Work more, race less".
