Phil just needs to find a job in a lower tax bracket to avoid the high percentage of taxation--problem solved for him.......ok, of course that was a stupid remark but state legislatures pass their state tax laws don't they? None of us want to pay unfair taxes, but all of us should want to pay taxes that are reasonable. If you don't agree with your state's tax laws, move. If enough people would do that, the laws may change. Phil, being a celebrity knows that he'd get "flack" if he moved, which may not be good for his advertising career.
