In South Dakota

This is your captain speaking;

I'm in South Dakota for a month long vacation on account if I worked any more, that would put me in a higher income tax bracket. And since I'm going Galt, well, you know. Time, leisure, labor thing and all.

Postings will be less frequent than normal.

South Dakota is a great place, the farther away from Sioux Falls, the better it gets.

Have fun, Cap. May your pack be full of fossils.

Have you ever made enough to pay federal income taxes?

Yes, for most years post college I did. Recent economy has resulted in a loss of income to the point I've been knocked down to the sad/happy (depending on your perspective) point that I'm in a bracket where last year I did pay in, this year, I actually may not.

The larger issue I had was psychologically accepting the fact I was never going to make it to that top income tax bracket. But the other side of the coin is that, OK, I don't make that much money, but since it's impossible to make that much money, that means you are more or less forced to enjoy leisure. Not what I wanted, but since it's out of my control, the only option is to go Galt and enjoy the free time.

Let me know when the economy picks up.

I love South Dakota. A great place to visit, one of only a few places I can't see a down-side in.

2 words Captain, *Wall Drug* :)
