Climbing the ladder of success? The government adds weights to your ankles on each step and redistributes your excess earnings to folks chilling at the bottom. Most of whom are still complaining about how hard it is to get ahead. How dare you take the initiative to achieve more than your neighbor, you greedy capitalist?
Most states like to exercise their ability to intercept your paycheck after it’s gone through the meat grinder that is the federal income tax. They need to get it while it’s hot. They size it up, take another chunk out of it, then throw it back in the mail so a little bit still shows up in your checking account before you get suspicious.
Buy a damn soda? Government slaps on sales tax, jacking up the price for their bloated waste. Every purchase funds their scams while you scrape by.
Own a house? Pay forever or they steal it. Your castle, their endless cashflow.
You finally die, and the government still demands its cut from your estate tax. They tax your life’s work even after you’re gone, screwing your family one last time.
Your city piles on local taxes for roads they never fix, schools that suck, and bloated pensions. They nickel-and-dime you for every damn service that barely works.
