WASHINGTON, Mar 18, 2008 – A new study from the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax research group in Washington, shows that most American states tax job providers at a higher rate than any other country in the developed world.
We outrank Japan, Germany and Canada in 25 states when it comes to effective tax rates. I was born in Canada. Maybe it is time to think about relocating to my homeland. My effective tax rate would go down 2%.
The more I think about this issue the more angry I become. We have taxation without representation in this country. My county just passed a new 1% sales tax by 27 votes. I had no idea the issue was even up for a vote and that was by design. Many legislative and other governing bodies make decisions “under the radar” by design so that motivated citizens who work for a living will have a very hard time participating in the decision making process. Taxes, once enacted, are almost impossible to get rid of because they create a new underclass of parasites who cannot survive without the nanny state and its organized theft by vote and deceit.
