What an awful lot of you YES voters don't seem to realize is that by voting YES, you gave away our Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. HELLLLOOOOO, DO YOU GET IT? Without the LOA, the FDA crewmembers would have had about $85K of their income tax-free (Federal). Most states don't collect any income tax from overseas workers. With the LOA, you pay what you WOULD HAVE SAVED on your Federal taxes directly to FedEx. They keep it to offset what they had to lay out to put you in the FDA. They also keep what you would have saved in State tax as a non-resident. They also keep what you would have saved in Municipal tax as a non-resident. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? You voted to screw the overseas residents out of their tax savings. Thanks alot, jerks. DPs are now fair game.
