Additional Details
What about Estate tax and tax on Social Security benefits? isn't that double taxation? Who loves to pay tax on the money you have already paid tax on or you paid tax on when you were alive? What about Exit tax congress is trying to pass? Isn't that same as what Nazis did to the Jews back in WWII? Regarding taxes in Europe, remember many of them have better social benefits, free health care and free education. I think our ancestors who left England paid less taxes than we do now, and they were free to leave. Are we free to leave to protect your hard earned money? Constitution says you can, but it's extremely difficult in reality. What does that say about our tax system? Please consider all angles before reply.

Go to the airport, take the next airplane to Schiphol, Amsterdam. Your tax system and taxation percentages are laughable as to what happens in Europe. That would be my advice to any US citizen. Gas tax too high? Just for feeling better, go and check out the gas prices in Northern European countries. My income isn't hugely much, but it is already taxed 40%.

Hardly. And a lot of those "taxes" you list are not taxes at all. They are fees. And a few of them are figments of your imagination, such as "Workers Compensation Tax" or are a single tax stated multiple ways.

The poster who suggested you hop a filght ot Europe is dead on the mark. Taxes are far higher there. Most Americans have no clue how good we have it.

You forgot about the stupid question tax. That will be $25 please.

US taxes are most unfair to the middle class. The poor get a break The rich don't care but have had breaks. No Taxes? Society would just become a free for all, with the poor & middle class trampled to death in the super rat race.

It is a very complex system, but "fair" is a matter of morality and emotions, something of which one cannot talk when discussing taxes.

Our tax system may not be easy to understand but it is ours and we love it. People sell their bodies to buy passage to the USA and we have border guards to try and keep them out. Most other countries have border guards there to keep the people in.


MR BIG
I dun't know if its the most unfair tax system in the world, but definately one of the most complex. There is not a standard or unform tax. Different situations apply different taxes. So in that regard maybe it is the most unfair tax system in the world.

In australia interest payments on your home are not tax deductible but interest payments on your investment properties are?

I dont deem this to be very fair but its how it is. So theres always going to be complaints about tax.
