It's not MY dream. That's more like chattel slavery, workin' for the company store.

Thats not it. It was Shanghai'd over a hundred years ago along with our freedom. And every fucking political hero that comes along with the notion of correcting it and ending corruption either quits after one term or submits to the staus quo. Its do so or die. The corruption runs the show. The happy ones are fine with it and they are not the ones at the top. Whenever they argue war happens. We die, not them.

I'm just waiting for the day they know they don't have to hide it.

@sage2021 Something I didn't understand, so will love to read the answers 😊

Yes, and it gets harder and harder to fly under the radar. We pay a gas tax in the state I live in. Then we pay a sales tax on the gas tax.

The American Dream is dead. It only gets worse from this point on. National Debt $40 Trillion , will be $41 Trillion by Dec. Personal debt is $18 Trillion and growing. Prices are getting higher. As we move forward , no one will be able to afford houses, Health Insurance, or cars. Utilities will continue to go up. College will be too high for most people. Jobs will be fewer with AI. Those that do work will be taxed 75% to pay for older Americans , since no one is having kids.

Meh. Labour income tax and consumption tax are pretty much the most efficient options for raising revenue, and they are lower in the USA than elsewhere.

Probably the more fruitful place to look for waste is in how it is being spent.

Despite all teh taxes Americans pay, the total tax bill is still less than many countries in Europe.
