Money I earn is taxed.

I invest what remains, gains are taxed.

I buy a house with what remains after that, I owe property tax.

I buy things to live with what remains, I pay sales tax.

To keep up the pretense of caring the state occasionally throws a bone like "tax advantaged" accounts. It either defers taxes or takes after tax money. Oxymoron to start with.

The state is a parasite that only knows how to sink it's fangs deeper into you.

Afuera!
