I'm fortunate to have a good pedigree and a very good income. My gf makes less, but she also has a good income.
We have no kids and pay roughly 40% on taxes. My kids don't use schools, I get NOTHING free from the government and I'm still gouged on my property taxes.
It's the nature of the beast.
We are spending billions each day/week in Iraq on a senseless war. The US has now been in Iraq for longer than WWII lasted. Think about that.
And to make matters worse for me, I don't even plan to stay in this country. As soon as my nest egg hits $XXXXXX, I'm outta here. Back home.
So, what exactly did I give up 40% of my income for?
