Do you know how much you actually pay in Taxes?

I know exactly what I pay in taxes, always have and always will know.

The problem with such a "stimulus" is that it's usually too little, too late. And it merely takes money from one taxpayer's pocket and puts it in another's. That's not a stimulus; that's a shell game. It adds a flurry of short-term activity, but doesn't boost output.

What should Congress and the president do? The best thing would be to make sure the tax cuts put in place by Bush in 2003 don't expire in 2010. To get this, if Republicans must, they should trade off the short-term stimulus that Democrats want for the long-term stimulus America really needs.

Some 15 separate taxes are set to rise in 2010 — hitting Americans with at least $200 billion a year in added taxes. That would sink the economy.

Making Bush's cuts permanent, according to economists Tracy Foersch and Ralph Rector, will add $76 billion each year to GDP, create 709,000 jobs and lift personal incomes by $200 billion. Sounds like genuine stimulus to us — stimulus for the long haul.

and thats just income taxes; about 40% of my phone bill is taxes and governmental fees.
