We’re now spending more than twice as much as we did to win WWII.[/quote]
No, your point was:
[quote=mike92104]Add to that all of the other taxes we are forced to pay, and it’s estimated the average person pays over 50% (50 f-ing %!!). [/quote]
The chart you linked to has nothing to do with percentage of income that goes to taxes. Though it is interesting, it’s almost an entirely different subject.[/quote]
No, if you read all of my posts in this thread, you’ll see that my original point was that taxes and spending have been steadily increasing usually sold to us as being “just a little bit” or “just a little bit more”. I was trying to point out that all of these small tax and spending increases have really added up over the years.
