Im buffled to discover the various list of taxes in the u.s. as its no wonder the populous of the country suffer financially. Most of the money they make seems to be taken by the government. Which inherently is used for god knows what. But we may have a damn good idea as of recent events. My advice save the money you have to buy a broken down house and build it up , land to cultivate or boat to rent out. In the long run you make money and benefit. Dont be stuck in one place to pay rent.
Think big, think far, think ahead. Strive to become a top dog. For some reason taces only seem to apply to the under dog.
