It's still absurd to me that we make the false differentiation between taxes and insurance premiums. If you've got a family, neither is negotiable. If you have a job that pays, I promise you it affects your check in nearly identically the same way as payroll taxes do. There's a tradition in America where the price isn't actually the real price, we artificially advertise fake prices to get you in the door and stuff a bunch of surcharges on the back end. I wish we'd cut it out-- our taxes aren't crazy, but the way they're presented make people flip their shit.
