it's really simple...taxation is out of control at ALL levels...


every one knows that taxation is a need...it's just the AMOUNT and the percentages of taxation has become oppressive...why should someone pay 40%, or more, on capital gains?...or pay 49% on an inheritance? as just two examples of unfair taxes levied...
don't squat while wearing your spurs...will rogers
