I make $45,000 a year. Last Friday I got my paycheck and 23% had been taken out for federal, state, and local taxes and social security and medicare (which I probably will never see). I pay city and local property taxes. Everytime I gas-up I pay fuel taxes. Go shopping-----pay sales taxes. My phone and cable bill includes several taxes. I buy a set of tires or a battery for my car----sale tax and excise tax. Flew to Florida earlier this summer. My airlines ticket had several taxes on it. Wouldn't it be more convenient if my employer just sent my paycheck to the government and then they could send me what they wanted me to have?
