Taxes are pissing me off really hard, and too often.

You work.

You exchange your peak life, hard labour and time to money.

They take 30-50% of it. You get 50 - 70%. (SideNote: Actually it's not only the difference between gross and nett. Companies are paying extra money for an employee over the gross.)

Then you go shopping from that money, and you pay VAT.

You buy a house, you pay a few taxes.

And this list goes...

And at the end, what do we get in return? You would think as we pay this much, things are thriving...

And on top of this endless pyramid scheme, there is the systematic inflation to take more money from you...

@RageOff

Do you have any book, content recommendation?

Taxation is significantly higher than 50% depending on the city you live in.

Make a million in NYC and you probably see 450k.

Then, your rent is the highest in the nation, Ubers, groceries, alcohol, services, restaurants, are all sky high.

You’ll do better making 250k in Dallas than you will 1mm in NYC.

The coolest part is:

As there is no free market for the money they get (via taxes, inflation), they don't have to compete, and can be as inefficient as possible, and does not make a freaking difference.
