Case in point. We got hit by the AMT (millionaires tax), probably due to my sly maneuver of paying myself very little on payroll but taking dividends from the corporation. We ain't millionaires by a long shot. Seems like when this law was passed, it was to catch a hand full of the rich who figured out a way around income tax. Now podunks like me are getting caught by it, never was indexed for inflation.

But what do I know, I'm just a poor slob working for the "man".

I hate when stuff like that happens!

As my dad always taught me, be thankful you made enough that you owe that much.
(not the same as getting caught as you were but the positive way to look at it)
