Taxes. How Much Do You Really Pay?

Got this in from Willie of Tropical Tatt0o this morning.

It's a video from the folks for Ron Paul, but following the brief introduction you'll get a good accounting of how much you're really payin' in taxes. It starts with the corporate taxes [You do know that corporations do NOT pay taxes, doncha? They do? Oh, that's right, the current corporate taxe rate is 35% so the rich corporations pay 35% tax on their profits, right? Silly you - corporations don't pay taxes - they just pass the cost on to you and me and we pay those taxes in the retail price of things we buy.]

Following the corporate taxes, it goes on to show how much you and I pay. . . and pay. . . and pay. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2CH9gHrRD4

Hope it makes you mad as hell.
