It isn't the fact that we are taxed that makes me mad. It is the socialist idealism of progressive taxes that hurts my family. We run a small family owned business and find about 40 percent of our income being taxed when it's all said and done. This is tough when the government isn't paying for your health-care. At the very least, we should have the right to tell the government we will save our own money rather than paying Social Security. The government has proved that they cannot handle saving our money, so why do I have to keep putting that responsibility in their hands?

I really hate correcting people but there is no way on gods green earth you are being taxed at 40pct. If you are going to complain about taxes fine have at it but don't fabricate your income to tax ratio to prove your point.

Social Security has been taking care of senior citizens and continues to do so. You may not agree with it but the fact of the matter is...it's not going anywhere and the money that goes into is being used to help people. Don't listen to the dipshyts on fox news telling you all this propaganda about it being unsustainable in 30 years.

How so? Look, I get people hate America and think that America is this evil place that supposed to be about small government but just imagine if you actually lived in a country that was actually oppressive. The fact that you can even speak this nonsense is a blessing.

Can't have it both ways can we? If you really do want to pay 40pct maybe they could pay for our healthcare. That doesn't fly well with Americans at least not yet. There are countries that provide healthcare but they also have an increased tax rate in order to sustain it. I pay a ton of taxes just like everyone else but it is not at a 40pct rate (Laughable). I also pay for my own healthcare (15k) last year alone. Combine the 2 taxes and healthcare (now we are at 40 pct).

Can you explain socialism to me because again it sounds like a big fancy word that you don't formally understand. What's next, anyone who doesn't agree with this rhetoric is a commie?
