If and your spouse make $52,000.00 together and own house worth $140,000.00 here's what your left with per dollar earned.

52,000 in income cost you

Fed taxes on average 20%         $.20                                        

State Taxes 3.5%                          $.035

Holland 2.25%                               $.0225

Sales tax on pruchases 6.75%, let's say $900.00 per month in purchases.

                                                           $0.0675

Real Estate taxes                          $0.0435

Balance left over per dollar -  $1.00 less 36.85 cents  =   You have $0.63 to spend

Wouldn't it be nice to have an extra $390.00 in your pocket at the end of the year?

That can be yours, if you let council know, not to keep the .75% tax on the books. It's your right to tell them not to keep the additional tax.
