$261,369.97
That’s how much state and federal governments have been taken from me and my wife since we started working many years ago. That’s just income taxes, medicare taxes, and social security taxes. That doesn’t include sales taxes, property taxes, or vehicle taxes.
I’ve been keeping track of that running total since I started working. It’s actually a bit low, because it doesn’t include the taxes taken from my wife before we married.
Looking at that number makes me sick.
I wish I had Billy’s magnitude of conviction.
