The numbers are in and they show federal taxes for the average American worker are increasing. Currently, you will work from January 1st to April 24th just to earn enough to pay your federal taxes.
Also, the penalty to the IRS for the next year is increasing from over $300 per person for not having health insurance to over $600 per person.
Can you say "oppressive"?

It's worse in Canada? How so? Canada is viewed as more liberal and thus better in its programs than the US.

That's a pretty grim picture so no wonder people simply aren't motivated to work anymore. A very legitimate excuse not to and find other means of survival.

@jahunt There is no pride among the generation that wants a free government ride in funemployment. I don't prescribe to that but it's a bitter pill to swallow that making your way in the world entails supporting the government for nearly 5 months.
