The government takes 30% of our wages. 12 hours per week. Hundreds of dollars every week.
This is on top of property tax, which is supposed to fund our local needs, including school.
If you pay $3,300 per year in property tax from age 30 to 60, you’ll have paid nearly $100,000 in cash as a tax on your own property.
If you earn $25 per hour at your job, that’s 4,000 hours of your labor. 2 working YEARS of your labor. As a tax on land you already paid for.
