And we can live like people in advanced countries, instead of being 30th overall in so many ways.

We are going 3rd world.

Taxing "income" is idiotic. The thousands of loopholes are made to make income not income, and not taxed. Wealth accumulation is not taxed. It's insane.

The richer get rich, and us working fools pay the bills.
