My lifetime isn’t over and I’ve already paid more than the “average” American. Quite a bit more. And I’ve never lived in New Jersey.
Same here. And I’m a (mostly) law abiding man on his own, minding his own business (or at least trying to). Never burdened the justice system, never any ‘assistance’, just a good-solid tax-payer getting taken to the cleaners here in CA.
Same here. I’m taxed enough and then some people get tax refunds on taxes never paid.
