    So everyone making good money is a dirtbag? Nice generalization.
    If they complain on a sports message board about a 3.6% increase in federal taxes on income over $400k/year when their taxes haven't gone up in 20 years, then yes I am making an accurate generalization that they are a dirtbag.

    That 3.6% is over $14K at the minimum per year, which is far more than the average season ticket's price so there's a bit of a reason to complain, even though it's always nice and easy when the taxes go up for other people and not yourself.

    I have a large TV and FSSW as well, but there is no comparison to actually being there; ESPECIALLY if you have killer seats like the ones you usually get when you seem them.

    My season tickets prices went up. Which means I will not renew for next year. Damn NBA lockout because owners complain they are losing money so they cut player salaries and still raise my ticket prices. Looks like the only people that benefitted from lockout are NBA owners. After all that double speak about how much they love the fans they still stick it to us.

    You obviously have no concept of marginal tax rates. It is $0 minimum per year increase, because every dollar under $400k/year sees no change in tax rates. If you make half a million per year, only $100k is taxed at the additional 3.6% for a grand total of $3600 tax increase for someone who makes HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. And that is not including deductions and all the other loopholes that the top 1% bribe their congressman to sneak into the law. So get your facts straight. Or better yet GTFO.

    Fair enough, I don't live in the USA so I admit I'm not familiar with the tax rates. You seem to have a lot of rage in you though, seek advice and help.

    so i just got an email....

    usually we are granted 1 upgraded regular season game a year to the lower bowl....well this year you get to choose between 1 preseason game at lower level plus a "fan experience" or 1 upgrade to the HEB fan zone (upper bowl) for a regular season game.

    complete crap.
