If you're woking you pay ~50% in taxes. Yeah I don't mean just your federal tax bracket, add up all the taxes you pay and you'll see it comes to about 50%. ~80% of that 50% goes to social programs. ~24 minutes of every hour you work is given to others so they don't have to work. That's right, only ~20% of your tax money goes to the military, roads, education, & administration. The rest is handouts. Enjoy!
