Bush Biggest Taxer in World History
"In both current and inflation-adjusted dollars, that puts the federal government on course for the most revenue it’s ever collected in a year. Indeed, it’s the most revenue any government in the history of the world has ever collected."Some people could make a case for 60-70 percent of your earnings are taken in taxes. There is no way to add up every tax you have to pay and figure it out. There are too many taxes. Sales Tax, Income Tax, Medicare, Social Security, Personal Property Tax, Phone Tax, 9/11 Tax, Gas Tax. Lets also not forget the biggest tax of all inflation. All those people keeping cash under the mattress are really losing out. I'd say buy something valuable with that money for safekeeping. If you are renting you pay some of the owners Property Tax in higher rent. Many people cannot get by on one paycheck like they used to. Is nobody else not noticing a trend? I am wrong that most people are working harder (maybe even two jobs) and are just breaking even? Early Americans revolted against a 2 percent tax on tea, while most Americans nowadays gladly accept small increases like that.
