How many different taxes do you pay that you think are unnecessary?

Answer 1

Income that is 35% off the bat, medicare, SSI, Federal and state and county, that is yearly. Property you might as well be renting from the government considering you never really own anything. Personal property tax after you pay the sales tax you should own what stuff you have bought and paid for but gee you don't if you get taxed on it yearly. All your utilities are taxed. Phone, water, electicity, gas. Everything that the companies have to pay they never do because the companies never really pay their taxes, you pay it for them and they get kick backs. If you win moeny of any type your taxed on it. If you recieve any moeny even if your out of a job the govrnment considers it income even if you need all of it to pay bills the goverment will tax it. The gift tax. The estate tax when you die and you want your children to be taken care of after you die you better have everything distributed beforehand or the government will take it. If you are self employed you get taxed extra. Don't forget how many lissenceing fees, at the state, county, level. All the court fees, fines, ect. you got to wonder where does all of it go? Well the people are steached too far and too much. If the IRS wants to pick on anyone they better be checking there own. With all these taxes you know over 75% of your income goes to pay taxes. How much of that benifits the people that pay into the system. Not very many. If the people took everything that the government took and wasted back and put it in a pot and distibuted it evenly. We could all retire and live a modest lifestyle.
So do I think that all these taxes are unessary? Well considering it goes to wars we can't win. Third world countries that pocket funds and sponge of us and then use it to buy weapons to terrorize us. And have you ever seen a serious session in the house or the senate they go on vaction most of the year get full retirement benefits for one term in office and most of these polticain are rich to begin with. Of course I think it is unessesary waste of taxes payers' blood sweat, and tears.

Answer 2

Taxes are a way to keep the government and all subsidiary governments working. Gas tax goes to repair highways and to help bridges from collapsing. Oops.. well maybe that money went to support the war in Iraq. Your property tax supports your state and county. Sales tax support your state. Federal exise tax supports the war in iraq.. oh, well I guess that one would be unnecessary.
But, yes, there are some taxes that don't make sense, but others keep providing services that you have become used to.

Answer 3

As income tax was instituted to pay for the debt created by our participation WWII and I believe that debt was paid long ago, someone is misusing the moneys collected since that time.

The government needs to be severely restricted and cut down in size. They are doing less for the people and charging more for it.
