In my entire life Federal taxes have never been a major concern. Federal taxes have barely made it on the radar. State and local taxes have always had a bigger impact on my paycheck and my business. The only annoyance I ever felt with Federal taxes was the incredible mess that is the filing system, and almost all of that is due to the deductions.

The IRS is not nearly the personal aggravation as the Republicans getting involved health care decisions, private communications, etc. and not getting involved in the businesses that are trying to kill or bankrupt me based on greed.

I don’t think I have to point out this is a feature, not a bug, and serves well to bankrupt the government so they have to raise taxes, which makes people vote for government to be “less involved in their lives.”

The interest on the national debt is on track to be they largest item in the Federal budget in the not too distant future and no one will talk about it.

When they have to start paying back what they borrowed from the Social Security trust fund and make those interest payments, taxes will go through the roof.

What’s really depressing is the interest being paid on that debt and most of it is going out of the country. I can’t see us ever breaking even again. The demands of crumbling infrastructure and all the other things hanging over our heads will just continue to run up the debt. We are in the spiral down.
