47 Different Taxes We Pay: Can You Think of More?

[Guest]

When we think of taxes, we most likely look at what we pay to the Federal government and the states where we live, but there are dozens more, incorporated into everything we purchase. Every time we might the government to tax the corporations, we are asking them to tax us. Corporations view taxes as an expense like paying the electric bill. When they price an item for sale, they include all their expenses, including taxes. Here’s a list of nearly 4 dozen taxes. Can you think of some others? Think of George Harrison’s “Tax Man” (1966):

"If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,

If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.

If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,

If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet."

Now no one can say that illegal aliens don't pay taxes.

Nor can they say that the rich pay the majority of the taxes.
