Some people are of the opinion that ANY way to lessen the burden of taxation, especially automatic taxation, will lead to silent and continual increases of taxes.

I wonder if people actually know how much of their income is taxed away?

federal tax, state tax, local tax, property tax, sales tax, gas tax...

I wonder how much we actually get to keep, and I wonder how many people are aware of it both now and historically?
