It's not a memory problem, Harry, it's just simple ignorance. I didn't know that.

But tell me: How often does it go up, and how often does it go down, and what is the general trend?

We have ups and downs in our federal, state and local taxes, too, but the trend is clearly upwards.

Edited to add: Of course, the tax code is so complicated that it's hard to know. Usually somebody gets a break and somebody else has to take up the slack.
