I agree with you, I don't know what is happening to us, we are losing our values and not supporting those who are so valuable to our survival: ranchers, farmers, electricians, firefighters, among other groups of people. Taxes are always a nightmare, I can't believe that individuals pay 25 percent of their earnings in taxes, the same amount that corporations pay.
It appears you are failing to recognize all the imbedded and hidden taxes one pays just to spend what you earn or to keep what you have. ie..peoperty taxes, sales taxes, liscense fees, permits, franchise taxes, fuel charges, service fees...building usage on tuition....and so on.
It's how a $29 phone bill becomes $47.
Applaude you to know you pay 25% in taxes...most don't have a clue as to what is really kept from their paycheck other than $ and cents (which many get back yearly) nor to they understand what it costs and employer to provide the paycheck.
