Your income comes from your employer, who already pays a tax just to pay you. Then, you pay a tax on that money that was already taxed. Next, you use your taxed cash to buy things that are also taxed. And then once a year, you pay the government more money. That is on top of paying taxes just to live in the home you paid for and in addition to inflation, which is also technically a tax.
Unclear where the government got this power to tax the masses into oblivion, but the people from the Boston Tea Party are probably rolling in their graves right about now.
