When you receive your next paycheck, look at the total amount of tax taken from your earnings. It is a ridiculous number, for what we are paying in taxes. Our tax dollars go straight to the government for "roads" and "education". In reality, we have billions of dollars being sent across the world, and our money is practically thrown away. Our economy is currently extremely unjust, and we have to pay to stay alive in the sense of healthcare and highly taxed food.
