If you're doing well in this country, then you should pay your ******* share.

If they want everyone to pay their fair share then the dregs of socicity can also take a hit on their welfare checks and pay their fair share.. Everyone can pay an equal share or the DUmpmonkeys can FOAD..

That's 20 percent you see, IF you pay no federal tax.

Now add in the SSI/Medicare/Medicaid, state income tax, property tax, etc.

You're lucky if you don't send at least 35 percent or more to the government.

You forgot to add on the 13% "Socialist Security" tax.
Medicare tax
Gasoline tax
Water tax
Electricity tax
Natural gas tax
Property tax
Sales tax
State income tax
Tobacco tax
Alcohol tax
and I can name more....

Not to mention all the government fees when you, say need court documents, need to buy a gun permit, or even get your driver's license renewed, etc. Tons more money there.
