FICA is not only for social security. Lets say if you become disabled you will then be able to collect on that. So in a way that is a benefit. You never know if something might happen to you. We don't pay tax here for food in this state. Or necessity items. Or Clothes. We pay state tax on unnessary items. So that is not a problem. I say property tax is the worst. Ecspecially when you owned a home for over 20 yrs. Bought and paid, but you lose it, under a property tax sale, because, of ill health and couldn't work for some time, and you can't pay the property tax, and they sell your home under neath you. IT happened to me!! Now your out on the streets. It's too late for me to untax property tax, because my house has already been sold.

Social Security Income. You are taxed on it when you earn it (before retirement) and then when you retire, up to 85% of it can be taxed the year you receive it. the elderly are already on a fixed income, why make them pay more taxes??

I would pick income tax. I live in Oregon, so I don't pay sales taxes. I don't smoke, so I don't have to pay cigarette taxes. Income tax is the only thing that affects me directly.

Yearly property taxes on my car. I paid sales tax, why should I be paying hundreds of dollars a year for a car that I've already paid taxes on...it's more than double-dipping out of my wallet...it just seems so WRONG...

Definitely FICA taxes! Being of the recent generation, when I get older, social securit will be dried up, I'll never see it. What benefit is there then for me to pay FICA to pay for the baby boomers social security. I think everyone should have seperate FICA accounts that we pay into, so we get that money back. Right now, it's money that I will never see again!

Food.
Food should not be taxed because it is a necessity for life. Just as air and water shoud not be taxed.
