Are you seriously claiming taxes started with the income tax? And it’s the only variety of tax?
You think taxes didn’t exist after the Boston tea party or something?

Hell yeah, that means I’m almost done after this year. I paid well over half that in 23 alone.

I think the government should be required to tell you exactly where your dollars go. None of this it goes into the pool bullshite. I want to know that I bought like 1 wheel for a hummer. Or maybe a helicopter blade, or something like that.

Think about this next time you see the government spend a million to study gay tree frogs.
Some poor sap (or two) is going to be paying taxes all of his life to fund it.

Louisiana spends $14K/yr for each student.
So thats over $180K per student for K-12th.

GTFOH, if you post on this board you have almost certainly lived through some of the greatest time to be alive in human history.
I'm the first to rail in the idiocy of income taxes, however, we've all received a pretty solid ROI all things considered.

I wonder does this include hidden taxes? Hidden taxes would be the taxes passed through in the cost of an item. For example, how much would a $2.00 can of beans cost if you backed all the taxes businesses paid to get that can of beans to the retail shelves for you to buy.

I get fricked every year because my wife and I both work and have to take the standard deduction.
How is taking the automatic $27,700 ‘getting fricked’? If you take the standard deduction, that means you don’t have more than that to deduct, right? Not being a dick, just trying to understand how that’s ’getting fricked’. We’ve taken the standard for the past few years since the standard was increased so much. Makes our taxes a hell of a lot easier.
