    I should look for a road bike but don't think I would use it enough. Airborne for the trails at chestnut ridge though.

    Don't underestimate the fun of fat slicks. I used to have some slicks that when locked up on pavement would let out a super high shriek as loud as any car's tires. Riding knobbies distance on pavement is brutal. If you like them a spare wheelset is worth not switching back and forth.

    40% before any deductions.

    "It's true that the statutory tax rate—including state and local taxes—is close to 40 percent, the highest among the developed world. But U.S. companies apply a long list of tax credits, subsidies, loopholes and other giveaways, so most of them pay much less than the top rate. Some, according to an analysis by Citizens for Tax Justice, have figured out how to pay no tax at all.

    Total corporate federal taxes fell to about 12 percent of profits from U.S.-based activity in 2011, according to a Congressional Budget Office report. In a separate study, the CBO found that the average tax rate in 2011 among developed countries was 3 percent of gross domestic product—compared with 2.3 percent of GDP in the U.S. "

    What continues to stick in my mind, however, is the money Burger King saved by relocating its headquarters to Canada. According to the Washington Post they stand to save 1.2 billion dollars in taxes by relocating to Canada. They went from being taxed nearly 40% in the states to just over 26% in Canada. It is no wonder companies move out. Our tax laws are jacked. 

    But we need the 40% tax rate due to all the money held overseas.(talking about you Apple) fewer Companies left paying same funding needed.
