You want to know why we will never have a flat tax or fair tax system? It's because of this stuff we are seeing now. If there were such a system, government would not be able to control you like they do now (hiding individual taxation under corporate guises). Federal & State taxation as experienced by the individual now extends from January to April or early May. Total taxation (hidden taxes, fees, etc) extends that to late September. Under Obama, this could go as far as November. Thats right. 1-2 months out of the year is YOUR money. This is what you get to spend or save however you like.

In 1900, Tax Freedom Day was Jan 22.

Anytime you say Yay for taxes because it is on somebody else, you fool yourself. Because eventually, it falls on you.

Dumbasses.
