Earning
Your work is taxed before you see it.
THE SYSTEM
A System of Extraction
Nearly everything Americans do is taxed.
Spending
Your money is taxed again when you use it.
Saving
Even your interest gets taxed.
Investing
Your gains are taxed when you build wealth.
Owning Property
You pay again for what you already own.
Driving
Fuel, fees, tolls, tags, and taxes.
Building
Materials, payroll, permits, and compliance.
Leaving an Inheritance
Even what you leave behind can be taxed.
Earn it. Spend it. Save it. Invest it. Own it. Drive it. Build with it. Leave it behind.
The tax system follows you no matter where you go, no matter what you do.
Most people know a few taxes. Almost no one sees the system.
