Yesa I dont like them taking 30% of our pay, but thats the price you pay for everything that makes the US work well.

If you remember American history one of the main reasons we went to war with the English was "heavy" taxes. Glad you like taxes, I don't . This country was founded on Blood bought freedoms, and one of them is the right to keep the fruits of your labor.
Remember part of your freedom and your "power" is your money!
What makes the US "work well" is people having MORE of there money to spend in on economy NOT going down the toilet to taxes.
Right now the average american pays over 50% of all there wages, one way or the the other to taxes. Yep a FULL HALF of your life is working for someone else who gives you little or nothing back in return.
You know how many goverment programs I'm on? ZERO. You know when the last time that I felt I was getting good bang from my tax dollar? Never!
We aren't europe or some other socialist nation quite yet, this isn't "One world" yet either, It's the United States, and that should always stand for low Taxes and HIGH Freedom!
So if you like High taxes, why don't YOU move to another high tax country where you will fit in, I was here first!
Just answer me this, what percent tax would you finally get up and fight about?
If we are at 50% now and your "Happy" with that, How does 75% sound, or maybe 90% would make you "more happy"?
Tell you what if you "like" paying taxes for overboated & wasteful, bottomless programs, why don't you pay my taxes as well?
Would you even get out of bed anymore if you only got to keep 1/10 of your own money or would you go to war?
That's what this countrys Patriots did they went to war for FAR less Tax increases than we live with every year, hell the boston Tea party was over a 2% INCREASE IN THE TEA TAX!
We are like frogs getting slowly getting cooked, you don't notice the change cause it's been so gradule over the years, but each and everyone of us are going to KEEP getting jacked more and more each year because of our total, I'm ok apathy. Maybe after you worked 30+ years, and payed in countless thousand for little or nothing like I have you just might change your mind about taxes?
You want the facts, do some research, help stop waste, hold these people's feet to the fire and let them EARN our money, not just let them rip us off???
