It would take a College degree in Calculus to figure out how many taxes we pay in the US.

Fed income
State income
FICA
Medicare
State taxes on vehicle purchase
Licensing
Vehicle property tax
Home property tax
Sales tax
Meals tax
Taxes on electric usage
Taxes on water usage
Taxes on Internet
Taxes on cable TV
Taxes on vehicle gas
Taxes on home gas
Tolls
Taxes on interest income
Taxes on dividend income
Taxes on inflation hidden as cap gains
Taxes on cap gains

Anyone care to add any more, I am sure there are probably hundreds.

We own our home outright and I built the home. Presently appraised at $320k, cost me 180k to build, plus 16 months of my life without a paycheck.

Now the gubmint (Frank's term) is making my cash savings worthless with inflation and my home ownership worthless because they are subsidizing incompetence by irresponsible banks and borrowers.

WOW, I can hardly believe spell check corrected me on gubmint, I had two Bs in the word!
