American's must labour 107 days to pay the government. Congress doesn't even work that many days annually! Why are the citizenry forced to pay (subsidize) a limitlessly powerful U.S. government, for the right (privilege) to live, breath, and survive?

Slave to live and live to slave. I can't very well say 'work', now can I as we're (all) forced employees of this limitlessly centralized U.S. government; therefore we're their property. Why do we (a free people) have to pay (subsidize) a limitlessly powerful U.S. governmental authority for the right (privilege) to live breath, and survive? I see no limits to their power, and what they say goes. Maybe I was mistaken, thought they're supposed to represent, and not dictate. I see more dictating than any form of representing emanating from our limitlessly powerful central governmental authority. If anyone here thinks otherwise, then I'm all ears..er, eyes. Also, why don't the war profiteers pay for their own wars? Unless you all think it's fair that you, your kids, their kids, and so on will be the ones absolving all this endless debt. Not to mention dieng for it; while the powers that be profit off your backs in safety.

According to the Tax foundation the average American must labor 107 days to pay taxes.

How much worse will it have to get before the American people say, "enough"?

U.S. governmental organized crime.

This site calculates it at a different rate.

That's 258% more months 'working for government' than it used to be, as shown in the chart.

The government taxes when you earn it, taxes you when you save it, taxes you when you invest it, taxes you when you spend it, and, when you die, they tax what's left over. What did they leave out?

5.1 months working for taxes is 43% of a year. In 1776 Thomas Paine argued that if a king demanded 50% in taxes, we wouldn't pay it. We are nearly there.

Who said the 'era of big government is over?'

1)Is it fair that the typical American pays more in taxes than they do on food, shelter and clothing combined! And that doesn't even include the "hidden taxes" on products caused by government regulations - compared to senior generations. Is that proper?

2)Is it fair to workers that government still launders our revenue faster than growth of the general economy, with 1995-2000 the highest tax in-take in relation to the size of the economy in peace-time history - - partly due to the largest tax increases in U.S. history in 1991 and 1993?

3)Is it fair that federal taxes increased 2.5 times faster than personal income 1995- 2000?

4) Should each citizen carry 3 times more state & local government employees on their back than before, with their higher job security and benefits?

5) Why should government extract revenues faster than the economy generates them? Shouldn't it take in lower tax ratios each year to prove federal, state and local governments are improving their own productivity and efficiency?

6) In addition to paying more taxes, Americans spend 5.4 billion hours per year complying with the federal tax code - - roughly the equivalent of 3 million people working full-time. If it were employed in productive activity, the labor now devoted to tax compliance would be worth $232 billion annually. The federal cost of hiring 93,000 IRS employees is $6 billion. If all these people weren't fooling around with the tax code, they could produce the entire annual output of the aircraft, trucking, auto, and food-processing industries combined. Source: W. Williams, Professor Economics, George Mason U, Imprimis August 2000.

7)Government mandating that employers withhold taxes from workers is wrong, as it removes power from citizens in controlling government spending.

Reagan speaks the truth here.

Paradox: in order to protect freedom that freedom should be limited.

Who would disagree?

Those who would ever limit freedom for temporary protection are the internal enemy.
