homefries, that's the point I was trying to get at.
The same dollar get's taxed so many times.
Example:
My income gets taxed (Federal tax) at 25%, then when I spend a dollar locally I spend another 6% of that dollar in taxes.
So one dollar is really $0.69...
And that's not counting social security, and medicare.
Another part of this that really bothers me is that fact that I don't have a say where my taxes go.
If we did have a say, I bet we wouldn't see as much crap from those that depend on our money for their living.
