The ChinComs are not stealing 55% of my income. Gov’t employees in my country are doing the stealing.

If what you guys do is so important and valuable - why do you need to steal the money via involuntary taxes ?

[Chainmail]

Oh, Voochie - it's called "supporting your country" and a whole lot better than being involuntarily required to speak Mandarin for your new masters.

55%? You need a better tax service - unless you're living in Sweden or something. The actual tax rate's a lot lower than that and you know it.

Of that 55% of your income 53% of it goes to entitlements, the remaining 47% goes to defense and other Constitutional (likely, maybe?) requirements.
