We only do this because the government is greedy.

The amount I have lost in taxes alone would have set me and my family up for life.

The only question is would I have been paid as much if the cost of living was not so high? And would less taxes had an effect on the cost of living and what I got paid.

The problem with taxes is I have no choice. And when over 50% of my income goes to taxes it feels like robbery.

The tax system is specific designed to also keep those with more at odds with those who have less. Otherwise we would vote takes out in a heartbeat. We can’t really talk about taxes as one people until we all pay the same %. A fair share is not knows when more % simply because I made more. A % already bakes in fairness.

So I propose our first tax reform is everybody pays 51% on all forms of income. One term later we would have true tax reform that actually made sense.
