If you are like most Americans, paying taxes is one of your pet
peeves. The deadline to file your federal taxes is coming up, and this
year Americans will spend more than 7 billion hours preparing their taxes and
will hand over more than four trillion dollars to federal, state and local
governments. Americans will fork over nearly 30 percent of what they
earn to pay their income taxes, but that is only a small part of the
story.
As you will see below, there are dozens of other taxes that Americans pay
every year. Of course not everyone pays all of these taxes, but without a doubt
we are all being taxed into oblivion. It is like death by a thousand paper
cuts. Our politicians have become extremely creative in finding ways to extract
money from all of us, and most Americans don't even realize what is being done
to them. By the time it is all said and done, a significant portion of
the population ends up paying more than half of what they earn to the
government. That is fundamentally wrong, but nothing will be done
about it until people start demanding change. The following is a list of 97
taxes Americans pay every year...
#1 Air Transportation Taxes (just look at how much you were
charged the last time you flew)
#2 Biodiesel Fuel Taxes
#3 Building Permit Taxes
#4 Business Registration Fees
#5 Capital Gains Taxes
#6 Cigarette Taxes
#7 Court Fines (indirect taxes)
#8 Disposal Fees
#9 Dog License Taxes
#10 Drivers License Fees (another form of taxation)
#11 Employer Health Insurance Mandate Tax
#12 Employer Medicare Taxes
#13 Employer Social Security Taxes
#14 Environmental Fees
