Taxes

...To all the working folks out there, this will interest you. I can show you that the government and all those other Idiots that have something to do with your paycheck get most of it and don't have anything to do with earning it. OK, OK, I know we all have issues with taxes but this one really burns my ass. ... A person earns a paycheck. They have to pay F.I.C.A., Social Security, State Tax, as well as a few other add ons. So after you pay all that out. You have to feed your family. So you go to the store and buy only what you can afford. Then you get taxed as much as 12% on the dollar. You then put what little you have left into the bank (assuming you can do that now days). You than go home and pay your bills (Maybe). You pay Taxes on the services you get. Water, Gas, Electric, TV, Phone, and Internet. When your all done, the majority of the country has no money or goes into debt. How is this the American Dream. So it breaks down like this. Taxes on the money earned roughly 20% to 55%. Then up to 12% on food and essentials. Then a total of 20% in utilities. All this don't include property taxes, gas, and bank fees. So (low end)25% + 12% + 20% = 57% if your one of the lucky guys. If your a hard working person who earns $10.00 hr. In truth you only get $4.30 per hour. No wonder the hard working people of this great country cant get ahead. Oh try and not pay the taxes. you will end up in jail or paying more than Tony Soprano will charge in interest. I wish we could sink a few ships and have our own tea party to get someone to listen.
