My taxes are inflated so rich can pay a lower percentage than I do or even just skim off the government. Beyond that, my Rent and healthcare costs are ridiculously inflated, but you can find a lot of padding in other areas.<p>FYI even just at the federal level things are effed up. 33.9% of taxes collected are payroll taxes, but social security caps at ~120k.  Hint it&#x27;s just a tax, you can receive benifits without ever working and millions on disability are simply pulled off welfare rolls.
