Just find it funny that the American Revolution was sparked in part by a 5% tax. They would be burning everything in sight if they had to deal with today's taxes.
Calculated my effective tax was about 55% at one point. Income Fed/State Tax, SS, Medicare, Property, Sales taxes on everything you buy. It's getting out of control really.

Most Americans don't know that in 1913, a permanent Federal income tax was passed into law primarily because it was sold to the American citizens as a "tax on the rich". And they bought it.
Ever since then, the rich have been lobbying Congress to pass tax loopholes to enable the massive shift from taxing the rich to purely taxing the middle class and the poor.
Smart fuckers. Learn to play their game, or get left in the dust.
