Hey, there’s one other option. If you don’t like being taxed, you can always move to a country that doesn’t have income taxes on the middle class (China comes to mind).
Or you can buy citibank/bac/gs/jpm/flavor of the month bank stock. At least you’d be paying yourself back.
Kinda like when gas prices were high, it was pretty funny buying petro companies like ChevronTexaco, ExxonMobil.
