Overheard at LGA between what looks like 2 partners from unknown firm: "I can't believe they want me to pay that much in taxes. I mean, I'm rich, but I'm not THAT rich." 😂

They pay estimated taxes quarterly, but you can only "estimate" 10% more than last year, so if you are rising fast your end of year bill is big. "Your first six figure check to the government in April hurts". On one hand, I sympathize, on the other, f*** you 😉
