Taxes, Taxes and More Taxes

Just about everything you do involves taxes.

Just bought gasoline? You paid taxes. Made a phone call? You paid taxes. Bought tires? You paid taxes. Cigarettes? Beer? Of course, you paid the sin tax. Traded stock? You'll pay taxes. Sold something? Probably have to pay taxes. Bought a house? You paid taxes. Sold a house? You paid taxes. Flew on an airplane. You paid taxes. Got your paycheck? You paid taxes. Buy a car? You paid taxes. Turned on your lights? You paid taxes. Traded something for something? You paid taxes. You died? Your heirs may have to pay taxes again on assets you've already paid taxes on...

And the Democrats want more.

It never ends. The federal tax code alone is now 70,000 pages. Six hundred forms. When does it end?
