FALCON PUNCH!!!
Dot com. Under Clinton, working in Manhattan and living in CT I was taxed at 42% when I left the area. Ultimately, I've been a consultant (1099) for 10 years. Taxes are a pain in the ass. So I did them quarterly. When I moved out of the area, I never paid any mind to the 1099 that came in from Kommander Klinton, and I owed $30,000 before I knew it. I have about $6000 left to pay between state and federal. And NY won't give me the $1000 or so it owes me for the past 7 years (They at one time owed me $8000 that I required a lawyer to get... and he promptly ate it all)
Now I'm W2, in an educational institution and lovin it.
During the dot-com, I was ROLLING in cash. Hell, there's a time my buddies and I call the "year-long party" because that's exactly what it was.
A republican governor and a republican president later... that all went bye-bye.
Depends on how you play the game.
