Of an identified $10 billion in spending that occurs during Thanksgiving weekend on the wine and beer, the gas and plane tickets, and the meal itself, government taxation composes 35.86 percent of those expenses — approximately $3.6 billion in revenues.

Many of these Thanksgiving items are subject to the increased costs of income taxes, payroll taxes, corporate income taxes, and other taxes on business activity. Government then includes additional fees and excise taxes that further increase the cost of providing specific items or services.

I always wonder how much of that $1 can of soda was taxes

36% seems like a lot. I heard on TV (CNBC) that the amount of tax in the price of an E-cigarette is 95% of the price!

And I’d guess it’s at least 75% for alcohol—maybe someone knows the real figure.

An uninvited guest will be his dishonor, Barack Barry Hussein Obama soetoro. An evil, detestable degenerate excuse for a president of the central socialist government.
