- Your income is taxed.

- Your money is taxed w/ inflation.

- Then you pay sales tax with taxed income debased by inflation tax.

- Then you pay carbon tax on the sales tax with taxed income that was debased by inflation tax.

- Then you sell something and pay capital gains tax on something you bought with taxed income that was debased by inflation tax.

- Then you die and your family pays taxes on all the things you bought with debased taxed income and capital gains tax.

And people ask why is it that I can't make ends meet?
