I heard some where then the I.R.S is claims that hundreds of billions of dollars is owed by people in United stated.Also the unpayed taxes in California could have solve majority of the budget issue of the the states of california.
Here in Canada people pay atleast 30% income to income taxes & on top that theirs a good & services tax(6%) & then provincial taxes can range from 5% to 9% on goods & services
Kinda funny I paid $328 plus(Canadian money) for batteries & Had to pay $40 in taxes(GST & PST)
