Taxes and Fees
Dec 1, 2018 07:20:08 #
As we all know, we are surrounded by taxes and fees. Nothing costs what you think it will. A friend came to visit and stayed at the local Marriott. Naturally, he paid a tax on the room, but he also paid a tax on the bed. 
Now that they have taxes on the room and the bed, what will come next - toilet, shower, lights, TV, parking lot?

Believe it or not, we are the most taxed country in the world. Just pay attention.....there is a tax on everything. What do we receive in return? Think about it! Please, please don't tell me freedom! Taxes do not pay for freedom!

Does a civilized society lock people in cages for not paying taxes?

Hotel/motel taxes are outrageous and common ... and the locals don't complain much because the out of owners pay it.
