That graph is meaningless without a category for beer.

Beer falls under the categories: recreation, food, medical care, houshold operation(gotta keep a case in the fridge), the accesories in clothing and accesories, and the all other categorie as well.

expand the federal/state/local tax to 45% of the pie (federal and provincial for me) then you'll have some thing to complain about.

and I think beer beer needs a catagory of it's own...well maybe include chicken wings then it will be a proper catagory.

Now if we could just keep from perpetually operating on a deficit and get rid of the national debt, you could get back a whole 14 days from those 74 days spent on federal taxes.

Actually, since we're triple and quadruple taxed constantly, if you add in sales tax, license tabs, etc. etc., in OUR state the "Magic Day" that you start earning money for yourself is June 17th. So we work 5.5 months for the State/Fed taxes, then we start earning it for ourselves.

Depends on your state. We're in the top 10 taxed I believe (thks Democrats) so we work later into the year to pay our taxes.
