With Obama and his fellow Democrats expanding the size of government at a record pace, it makes one wonder how much more of our hard earned money will be confiscated to pay for the expansion.
Well, I thought that list of many of the taxes we already pay might wake up those who think the government knows how to spend out money better then we do. As you read through this list of 177 taxes remember that this is just a partial list. I am sure that there are those who could think of some I missed and add to the list.
I personally think that Post Script would be doing the public a huge favor if they could keep this list as a side bar for a quick reference and then just add to it as we can think of them. Then when someone claims that the government needs another program, we will have a quick reference as to why we need no more programs, regardless of how good the idea sounds.
Well here is my list in alphabetical order, and please, if you can think of more then by all means let us know.
