That's interesting. I am paying 60% of my salary to the government who in
turn owes that money to me. Funny, I always seem to make the payment every
year around April 15th, but I don't seem to ever get any of it back, and in
fact am told that I need to pay more each year to help fund this peculiar
accounting situation you have described. Could it be that this is not the
correct answer? Any more guesses?
