I'll give a short example. The cost of a loaf of bread is based on the cost to make it transport it and materials.
Farmer pays a tax for the water, labor and his property. He passes that cost onto the flour maker. He is then taxed on the sale. If hes smart he made sure he left enough room to make some money
Flour maker is taxed on the property labor ect and is taxed when he sells it to the bread maker.
Same for the bread maker. And the trucking company. And the grocery store you bought it from. By the time you pay your 8% sales tax on that 3 dollar loaf it has already been taxed half a dozen or more times.
I would gladly dump a bunch of tea into the ocean in protest of how much in taxes I have to pay.
Read the book 'how do I tax thee' if you want to feel really mad.
When you account for all the taxes built into the products you buy every day your real tax rate is close to 70%
WHAT!!!!!!?!?!?!??

Bull... the fuck... shit! Seriously, what the actual fuck?!
According to leftists this week, that's totally the same as burning down a Minneapolis Target with a list of untenable demands for free shit.
