It should be pointed out, however, that due to COVID restrictions, spending on entertainment is way down. Nevertheless, that's a pretty staggering tax burden.

    The bill would also allocate another $80 billion to the Internal Revenue Service so that the agency can enforce payments from high-income taxpayers. That can pay for a lot of goons with guns. To put into perspective there are 35,000 FBeye agents /. 80 billion buys you 80,000 irs agents paid $100.000.00 . Apply now! Currently 75,000 IRS employees.

      Along with illegal Antifa and BLM goons the Neo Communists need a "legal front" to whip and flay the people into submission and the IRS is the perfect tool. Stalin would be proud.

    My property taxes are more than double that and "Other taxes" are also.

    I have been only eating 2 meals a day since 2010 with a brief interlude during the Trump Era.

    Pretty soon I'll be down to one meal a day!!!

      Bought a bone in ham for $9 a week ago .about 8 meals but the bonus is boiling the ham bones for 5 hrs and adding sweet potato pieces , onion , a little bouillon and split peas. For another $5 10 more meals easy.

        Thanks for the tip: Can't do pork, screws my body up. My body fights the pork as if it was an invading blood type. [mimics A type blood]
        No more colds once I stopped eating pork.
        We do a lot with roasts and corned beef...I get extra sand-a-wich-es!!!

        But, I'll add that we do spend more money on food that is good for my wife to keep her sugar level off the floor.

          Bone the roast, freeze it with some meat, keep adding bones to the bag until you have enough (3-5, depending on bone size), add it to a kettle of water, then simmer for several hours until the marrow and meat fall apart. Add celery, onion, potatoes, carrots, parsley, tomatoes, your choice of seasoning or additional veggies (I use rutabaga, parsnip and turnip). Simmer until veggies reach your choice of tender. Boil up some noodles or add dumplings. The leftover soup can be frozen for another day or three.
