Whether 2020 has felt like a blur or a slog—whether it feels like December or as if it's still March—we are finally reaching the end of a hard year. Traditional New Year's Eve parties may be out this year, but if your festivities still include popping a bottle of bubbly, the champagne you toast with will be taxed.
According to data compiled from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States and state revenue departments, Florida comes in with the highest state champagne tax rate at $3.50 per gallon. Next are Kentucky ($3.30 a gallon) and Alaska ($2.50 a gallon). Wisconsin ($0.25) is at the other end of the spectrum, with New York, Kansas, and California tied for second lowest at $0.30 a gallon.

Do you think I've taken the right approach to apply for a stimulus check, even though I'm not working now?
Here's How Troops Will Repay Suspended Payroll Taxes in 2021 | Military.com
Most military members will spend the next year repaying payroll taxes that were not withheld from their paychecks over the last four months of 2020, due to a temporary exemption put in place by President Donald Trump.
That change was made through an executive order that suspended the collection of Social Security payroll taxes from September through December . That meant most troops received a slightly larger paycheck during that time. But the executive order didn't eliminate the tax. Instead, it delayed it temporarily, with repayment set for 2021.

LETTER: Taxes should be openly paid by everyone | Opinion | wiscnews.com
The article in the Dec. 24 paper about the wealthy who are griping about their taxes and how they are worried about how to protect their millions or billions by using loopholes used by our current "rich" president who sides with all the big money people. They ought to be very ashamed of themselves. Taxes should be openly paid by everyone.
I believe in supporting the country we love, and taxes are a means to do so. If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I know of a very many good and worthwhile charities who could use a helping hand. I would have no trouble giving my riches to each one of them. The super-rich should consider how they can help their country rather than how to fill their pockets even fuller.
