I know nsr… it really has reached ridculous levels. Property tax, income tax, payroll taxes state taxes, now a VAT as well. Taxes, fees….whatever…someday people will figure out that equations have two sides. For every entitlement given to somebody you are taking money out of someone elses pockets. Eventually you WILL run out of people to take from.
I read that if everyone in the US paid a flat 11% tax then we would bring in the same money as we currently do. Thing of that… just 11%… Of course everyone would have to pay and we cannot have that now could we?
