]I used to have the same exact thoughts.[/B] Then I learned that actually very few people get more back than they pay in taxes and even fewer take advantage of the system unlike the many claims.

Not all of us gain wisdom with age. Speaking of learning, where did you learn about the large national sales tax that you claim all of us pay. I must confess, I have never paid one cent of a national sales tax. If I am wrong about this issue, then Uncle Sam is due a large amount of back taxes from me and the hundreds of millions of other American citizens who were unaware of that tax. I am shocked that Amazon does not collect a national sales tax on top of the 6 percent state sales tax that I pay. nicker:
