our founding fathers would be ashamed that we let it get this bad. it's so hard to break out of a system when 25-35% of your income is given to a useless corrupt govt via sales tax, state income tax, federal income tax, and social security which wont even exist when im old enough to be eligible
I wouldn't even complain about sales tax and maybe not even state tax from income if we didn't have federal taxation as well as property tax.
The fact that you can't buy a piece of land and build it up yourself anymore without increasing your taxes because your home value increases is in itself the perfectly shaped piece of bullshit that should ruffle all our feathers collectively.
exactly, and this is why people who win the lottery end up losing everything. They get 10 million, buy a 2 million dollar home, and are bankrupt after a few years of the taxes that they didnt know about. Although you'd have to be a dumbass to use your winnings that way, so you'd probably end up losing it all anyways if thats the road you go down
the amount we are taxed is fucking staggering
