Taxes.

A major secret of successful taxation is to make it painless. To do this, taxes must be hidden. Governments tax output up the entire supply chain. The sellers collect the tax. The public does not perceive this.

Check out this (humorous) video.

I think it is very effective in showing how the government gets there “share” of pretty much everything we do and consume.

Thoughts?

Sad story, but good lesson

Couple items come to mind:

  • Careful who you trust your money with.
  • Read the fine print.

What do you think?
