Default Re: President Signs Defense Bill

[ QUOTE ]
Who's talking half? I'd be happy to pay that little in taxes... And, pure speculation, the total tax-pressure in the US might not be that far from 50%, around here I belive it's something like 70% or more, if my memory serves me, including income-tax, VAT, various taxes on specific goods and so on, so forth

It was a quick conservative guess based on some stats I dug up online. Id be suprised if the US was approaching 50%. Anyhow, my point still stands. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I just felt obligated to defend my president. Not trying to be rude.
