I don’t know about you, perhaps you like handing all your money to those money grubbing politicians, but I’m sick of being taxed into oblivion. In general by the time you get your paycheck and the feds and state are done with you they’ve taken somewhere around 30% of your cash. That’s not even including what you lose to things like health insurance, etc.
Ok so now I’ve lost somewhere around 30% of my hard earned cash, and I want to spend some of it. AHA! Now you get to lose more of it!! Buy some food or go out to eat and there is another 7-10% gone. Buy some gas and lose anywhere around 20-40% or more on fuel taxes depending on where you live. Pay a utility bill, get taxed. Buy something to read, get taxed. There’s no hard fast numbers here but I guesstimate 45-55% of what I earn is taken away to line someone else’s pockets or support some pork barrel project. At least if the money went to actually improve roads, get education standards up to where they should be, provided federal and local services that function properly without endless mistakes and bureaucracy, I wouldn’t be so angry and frustrated.
The government has been wasting so much money it’s unreal and now to top it all off we are some 800 trillion dollars in debt??!?!? Holy Crap the reality of that is staggering! This shit has got to stop!
