You mean we don't own anything?Uncle Sam has his hand out everytime you reach for your wallet. He takes when you earn a dollar, he takes if you save a dollar, he takes if you spend a dollar, if you spend that dollar on lumber to build a shed he will tax you for having it as long as it stands.
If you buy an electric car you pay sales tax, tag tax every year, and tax on the electric they use that gas cars don't.
Personaly I think thats why elections are as far from April 14 as they could make it, and we should change that so that we vote while that tax payment is fresh on our minds.
