I don't think they steal 70 to 80 % of your income. Unless of course, you are living somewhere else. I think it is the normal state of affairs that most people don't really like their jobs, its just a living. Only the few who are in charge, creative, making things happen like what they do. Most just go and get their paycheck.

Just a living..Thats OK wiht you then its OK for me that you think that way. Would be nice to keep 80% of it though wouldnt it? Name how many taxes you pay each day. Fact is your taxed on each and every thing you do every day. Add those taxes up and you'll find that Fed, state and local taxes eat up just about 70 to 80% of your gross.
There's gas tax, there's phone tax, there tax on your clothes, tax on your income, tax on your roads, schools, heating, electric, cars, tires, food, even a tax on a tax-because if you got a refund last year thats considered income, your even taxed if your unemployed for Gods sake, you name it, its taxed.
