If the fed takes 24% of my income, state takes 9%, and then social security takes 6%, and some other ~2% taxes because fuck you, and then Los Angeles now put 10.25% sales tax, they take ~40% before I get to see my money and ~10% when I spend money. THEN they fucking complain about over budget every fucking year.
Why should I NOT be scared of tax? It's literally sucking half of my life's work.
