When all our taxes are added together, we pay 50% of our wages. There's tax on everything in NY, even a hidden tax on soda pop.
If the UN makes us pay more, the government will go over the 50% mark and will be taking from us more than we earn. We'll be their working class slaves.

If you also consider the extra cost for goods because of business taxes passed on to the consumer, it is closer to 60%.
