[quote=jimmyle]We all know that we need a government. The only debate is that how big should it be? Currently, the majority of people think that the government has gotten too big and too wasteful. Our sales tax started out at 0%, and now it is approaching 10% and they still want to squeeze in another half percent and people are tired of this.[/quote]
Your sales tacos are high because capital taxes are low.
The prop 13 tax freeze capped property taxes so long held properties pay less then starter homes. That was a maqasive intergenerational tax.
Then finical instruments are not taxed so your consumption is.
