I really don’t want to hear that sad sack excuse of “but taxes are the price for a civilized society”. No, it’s not because people can be civilized without government. Government certainly has a role, a necessary role, but not to the point where the cost of it exceeds what the average America family pays for the stuff that really matter like the chart shows:
The report shows 31 percent of the nation’s income will go to taxes — $3.3 trillion in federal taxes and $1.6 trillion in state and local taxes
(H/T: Big Government)
