Yes , I feel some kind of weird sadness . My main reason for quitting PMO was all the nasty anxiety disorders I ' ve got off doing it , don ' t knowing that I was destroying myself . Now anxiety , tiredness and depression are flanking me , but I ' m a tough guy , I ' ll show them a fight ! 😏 <| sep |> I ' m not sure what ' s worse . the irony behind black Friday and over consumption in general or the fact that we are so blind to it . <| sep |> First place team always loses to the spunky team that just barely made the playoffs <| sep |> 4 . 5 is the State not the city like nitwit saying below . We still get taxed federally , but you can offset your federal income taxes with state taxes . So while I live in Texas and we have no state income tax , we have pretty high property taxes , but I get to claim those on my federal tax returns to help reduce my tax liability . All said and done , I end up forking over about 23 % in income taxes , 2 . 8 % in property taxes , 9 % in sales taxes , among other taxes just for being a lawyer .
