The whole Republican party has turned into the Kiss of Death for the US. They have voted not to pay our bills. That is like voting to not pay your bills at the end of the month. You get slapped with late fees, penalty charges, A huge increase in the interest rate, and a lowered credit score! Not raising the debt ceiling is not agreeing to more debt, it is agreeing to pay the bills for the money we have already Spent. The Republicans threatening to vote against it is the most asinine thing I have ever heard of! Since them and their orange clown ran up a hell of a lot of it with their ridiculous tax cut for the corps and super rich!!!! They are trying to destroy this country with their insurrections, Constant lies, Constant protests against an election they lost and trying to destroy everyone's faith in our election system. I guess they figure if they can't kill it one way they will kill it another!
How much of an earner's income is the government entitled to?
According to the party you support.....all of it.
A note from history: this has always been the view of the slaves of the Left:
The attitude of the FDR government can be seen in these words of
A.B. “Happy” Chandler, a former Kentucky governor: “[A]ll of us owe the government; we owe it for everything we have—and that is the basis of obligation—and the government can
take everything we have if the government needs it. . . . The government can assert its right to have all the taxes it needs for any purpose, either now or at any time in the future.”
From a speech delivered on the Senate floor
May 14, 1943 Happy Chandler's dangerous statism - The Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions
They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.
I have always tried to reduce argument to its most salient points. As in this description of the two parties aims:
The Founders, classical liberals, conservatives
a. individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
“free markets, free voices, free people”
Fascists, Nazis, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Communists, Democrats
b. the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.
None of the totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).
The Democrats check every one of those boxes.
They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.
2. Central to that idea is how much government aims to steal from those who earn it:
What if you find that based on Federal taxes, state taxes, local taxes, sales tax, parking fees, license fees, speed cameras, hidden taxes of all sorts......
....and the insidious tax, inflation.........amounted to
more than half your income at least?
Have we reached
slavery????
Or just serfdom?

3. The NYSun puts my view into print:
“Biden’s Budget: The Road to Serfdom
It’s Time To Kill the Tax and Spending Bill”
Biden's Budget: The Road to Serfdom
“In President Biden’s budget speech Thursday, he referred on eight separate occasions to “
pay their fair share.” He just kept repeating it. Some left-wing pollster probably told him that it plays well in progressive precincts. As you may have guessed, this performance and its content got under my skin. Mr. Biden is always blaming businesses and wealthy successful individuals.
Always blaming them. And it’s a lie. It’s a big lie. Just like any left-wing propagandist. Say it enough, and it becomes true. It goes way beyond cognitive dissonance. It is just a big lie. Let’s look at some facts. This is from the Internal Revenue Service as analyzed by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.
First, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. That’s according to an OECD study several years ago.
Progressive means the upper end pays far more than the low end. So here are some facts, according to IRS data from 2018, the most recent numbers available. The top 1% of taxpayers paid $616 billion, which is 40% of all the income taxes paid.”
