One of the interesting features in TurboTax is the summary cover page they print, which includes a line for, "Effective Tax Rate." This year for us it was 7.98%. Last year, which included real income by me, I remember it being 9 and some change percent.
When the Federal income tax rate is effectively less than local sales taxes, it's difficult for me to muster much enthusiasm about "tax revolt."
