And not just because of the obvious. It would be tolerable if they could stop at income. But they don't. It feels like the second the gov't learns we have some money left over after working too hard, it demands its piece at the edge of a legal spearpoint. Property taxes, sales taxes, capital gains taxes, etc. I hate the last one the most. Why does the gov't get a slice of the cake it actively hindered making?

What prompted this, you might ask? I switched WiFi providers recently, only to find WiFi taxes are a thing now in my area. That jacks up the price considerably more than what was advertised. I despise the gov't for what feels like its greed, and its arrogance in telling us to be grateful for it.
