Maybe you aren't paying enough taxes, but most of us feel like we are paying too much.
So just how bad has the situation become? Here is a list of 100 taxes and fees you currently pay (either directly or through a pass-on of costs from business to consumer). Keep this list in mind every time you hear a politician propose new taxes or fees to pay for their latest binge of spending to repay campaign contributors and ensure their own reelection bids.
