Impossible to calculate the sales tax.

However sales tax is voted on state by state. Can't really hate on it as much as I do the income tax.

 

Which... ugh.. is a rabbit hole to go down.

I pay roughly 20%... I get little to no "tax return".

And I know people who pay 10% and get all of their money plus some.

 

In what world does is make sense to pay people a tax return more than they paid out?

Why collect from these people at all? And why give them more than they gave?

Because they had kids?

 

OK... So.. you work... we tax your income... 

But if you work less and have lots of kids... we'll give you (someone else's) money.

 

(edit) also good reading
