I mean ALL taxes (not just the ones that you see on your <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">pay stub<\/span>) like sales tax, auto registration, auto inspection, gasoline tax (you know). <\/li>\n<li>I think that if you tallied it all up you would see you pay about 50% or more of your pay to the government. <\/li>\n<li>Some studies suggest it&#8217;s more like 65%.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s all hidden so it&#8217;s less noticeable and the people don&#8217;t revolt.<\/li>\n<li>If they took it all out at once I think you would find many many more people voting.<\/li>\n<li>I watched Clue this weekend.
