I guess because if you like sending your kids to school, drive on maintained roads, have “free stuff” to do where you live, then you pay taxes I guess? Don’t you just wish all that stuff was a one-off expense? Sadly it’s not.
I have a son-in-law who works as a banker in New York City. More than 50% of his income goes to taxes. The top 10% income earners in this country pay 70% of all federal taxes collected. Approximately 40% of households in this country will not pay any income tax for 2022. And Democrats complain that the rich do not pay their fair share.

That's only "income tax". Everything else is taxed too. It's not just "sales tax" when you buy something, that "something" was taxed heavily before it ever made it to the store...the resources for it, TAXED, the manufacture of it, TAXED, transportation to the store, TAXED, and on and on...I'm sure I left out a few stages of TAXED...but have to try and keep it simple for the little brains.

My wife and I pay around 40% income tax...we don't make enough money to afford a tax lawyer to save tax money.
