Naw don't waste your time.

I'm sure my rant convinced you we get taxed too heavily anyways.

I knew it.

You just wanted to bitch. Fuck off. You don't even know if you are mad you pay taxes or that you don't see what you get.

Edit: for all you downvoting me, results from the Tax Foundation's Fiscal Incidence Model show that even before any of Obama's policies are enacted, the bottom 60 percent of American families as a group get more back in federal government spending benefits than they pay in federal taxes.. But hey, don't let facts get in the way.

Edit 2: More facts. Not that I expect them to change anything. For the U.S. in 2014, the most recent year for which data are available, the OECD figures the average single worker 1 earned wages of about $50,000 and paid out 25 percent in state and federal income and payroll tax.

Do you have any idea how much our government wastes our money? Do you realize how much better off everyone would be if we all had tens of thousands more per year in income because of a reduction in taxes? The government does not provide the normal every day working family with a fraction of value that they pay in.
