Usury ? ??

You forgot to list having to pay other people's and business' taxes. For pret near every gawddamn tax and fee you list there is an exemption that you and I don't get.

But did you ever consider that your beef is ass-backwards ? If not, your not the only one.

Hint: We are still not paying enough taxes !
