It’s the middle class that is being squeezed.
I got to thinking about all the taxes, fees, tolls, surcharges we pay on a yearly basis...it’s mind numbing.
When I did the rough math, about 40% of our household income goes to some form of tax/fee.
Gas tax, federal income tax, property tax, school tax, sales tax, hospital district, EMS-Fire, Sports Authority. Redundant taxes on each phone line as well as a host of fees/surcharges. Internet/television connectivity hold fed, state, local taxes/fees. The list is endless.
This doesn’t even touch the inflated cost of goods and services due to government regulation.
