with taxes it is more than that (homeless -- border influx)
I pay a huge portion of my income in taxes, not saying I pay more in taxes than the next fella, but percentage wise, it’s in that fucking 36% arena. I know to some the dollar amount might be small, but percentage of my income is huge.
So I am not counting what the government “steals” from me, but actual out of your pocket after the tax man takes his gd cut. What are you giving away.
Mrs johnr has a percentage, and it’s given every week, before I get to buy my ice cold Busch Lights. I come second, and actually feel good about it.
