Someone is stealing your life (1990)
The real theft is that the federal, state, and local governments take about 40 percent of your earnings in an array of taxes.

What percentage of your earnings would you not consider theft?

In my opinion, taxing some fraction of people's income is the best solution to the problem he's mentioning. Although I am under the impression that USA is rather reluctant to tax high earners.

well, your impression is wrong. High earners get federal, state, and locally taxed.
