Why do taxes come out of my pay checks and I have to pay taxes on anything I buy?
It's like, some guy on a farm sells his goods to / for a store, he gets taxed on what he sells, the store gets taxed for it, and I pay tax on it with money from a check I get taxed on....
So let's say we're talking about a tomatoe is one of the goods in the aforementioned statement.... It's like taxes are payed on it 3 times over.... Am I right or not?
Also, shouldn't I be able to write off food? I mean, we all need food to have energy and LIVE to do our jobs, shouldn't we be able to write off the clothing we buy? Not all of us want to wear clothes but it's against the law to be nude in public, so shouldn't we be able to write stuff off that we NEED to buy to function in society?
What are your thoughts on this? Feel free to call me a dumb*ss or agree with me...
