I hope not but here is an interesting article from the NYT. It seems our government just can't get enough of our money.

That is so sad. The middle class just can't afford that extra tax right now. The time I lived in Ohio was miserable. I paid a federal tax, a state tax, and a city tax. When my company relocated me back towards home I got a raise just from the move since I no longer pay a city or state tax.
My city in Ohio charged me a 2% flat income tax. Notice I said "flat." No deductibles. That being said, I do support the idea of a national flat tax. But a federal, state, and city tax was killing everyone. To top it off the city had a big embezzlement case and lost about $3 million. They laid off most of the police and fire departments and asked for more taxes.
