Talk about work hard because millions of people on government handouts are depending on you! My word! With 60% of the federal budget consisting of unconstitutional spending think about how low these rates could be if we just stopped letting American’t suckle off the government. Then remember that every time you buy something you get another 20% to 30% worth of taxes wrapped into everything you buy from costs and taxes the government places on business.

How does it feel to be sending a quarter out of every dollar you earn to the politicians in Washington D.C.? Because most of us as Americans are in at least the 25% marginal tax rate. And it all comes right off the top of every paycheck you earn.

Happy Tax Season! And think about supporting the FairTax.
