People make a big hairy deal of taxes because no one likes taxes. But irrationally over weighting them is a very bad way to make decisions. Which is why I started the last round by agreeing with you. If this decision were entirely about money Coach Bohl probably would have left already. He's still here. In addition to money not being the most important consideration my further point is that within any conversation about the money, the marginal impact of federal income taxes on such I decision should probably be zero.
I don't like accountants either.
