>>It’s really a phoney stat because it depends on kids, owning a house, pay, benefits, pensions<<

Not really. You are thinking Income tax which, although pretty high, is the least of the tax bill.

That's what I'm saying. There's a tax on everything...not just normal local, state and Federal.

E.g., My utility bill is 30% taxes and TAX fees. I pay it with monies already taxed.
