First is the income tax. Add to this the fact that forty-three states have a state income tax which is added on to the federal income tax. In addition to the income tax is the payroll tax. The third tax is the sales tax. This is tacked on to nearly every purchase and forces consumers to pay an additional six to seven to eight percent.
Property tax is a fourth tax.
Most local governments levy an annual tax of 1 or 2 percent of the value of an individual's home and other property. Well, I could go on and talk about death taxes and car taxes and gas taxes, etc. But you get the idea. Americans are paying a lot of taxes, and it's time for a tax cut. We are paying more in taxes than the government needs.
