People often refer to taxes in terms of their being much too high. In reality, they are probably even higher than you think, because, in addition to the federal income tax there are many other Federal, State, and local taxes, including sales taxes, inheritance taxes, state income taxes, personal property taxes, real estate taxes, and others. These are just some of the most obvious ones.
