Levi, James, Plat, Bushrod, Dion, ED, and you other libs here I have an experiment for you. Take your paychecks for the month (If you have one), count the amount taken out in taxes then, the bills you pay (If any) count the amount of taxes there, plus factor in what taxes you pay in buying essentials each month (food, fuel, clothes, etc...) and then get back to me and tell me how much you are prepared to add to your taxes (%) on the 50% of your paycheck left because, that is about where you will be after factoring in the earlier taxes mentioned above. I have done this and me and my wife figured it comes close to 50% of mine and her earned money for the month.
