So nobody wants to pay more taxes to give my lunch lady wife a $5 an hour raise?
Dude, I'd love to help out a fellow American, but I'm just taxed out. I pay a huge chunk of my earnings to the federal government in income, Social Security and Medicare tax. I have to pay the State of Indiana income tax. I have to pay property tax to my county, as well as county income tax. I pay the City of Louisville tax for the privilege of working in that fine city, and I don't even live there. I pay Jeffersontown, KY income tax for the privilege of working there, which is really weird since I also have to pay Louisville income tax. I also have to pay tax on my vehicles every year. And of course there's sales tax. I even have to pay sales tax on Amazon orders now!
Man, I'm taxed out. I'm Taxed Enough Already.
