Taxes suck.
The government uses the tax system to redistribute wealth. Let's be honest about this one.
Its not there to pay for the military or the roads, its really to take from the rich and give to the poor.
The problem is that the middle class and the upper middle class gets caught in the net.
Lets say you live up north and pay 10% in state and local and 35% in federal plus 6% in sales tax and pay property taxes and all kinds of fees. You actually work for about 6 months per year with no pay ata all. thats right 6 months of your work goes to the government which wastes all that money on BS.
Thats what I think and there are plenty of people like me around.
The feds charged about 3% in income tax back in the day and now it tops out at 39.6%. Back in the 60s it topped out in excess of 75%. That was crazy and JFK fixed that.
