Amen.
My wife and I have done well. I would say we’re “comfortable”, not wealthy, but nobody handed it to us.
But damn, man. For the last 25 years now... it feels like *everything* from *everybody* is just set up to screw us, tax-wise.
We don’t need the government’s *help* — we just want a reality where we aren’t the beast of burden constantly paying more and more taxes to help the ‘less fortunate’ below us.
Yeah, I’m very much a capitalist and I very much believe in personal responsibility — but from *both sides now*, it just feels like we’re the forgotten beast of burden, expected to pay ever more taxes with no benefit.
