Within this new audiobook, Libertarian journalist Kristin Tate offers a check out the wild globe of frivolous taxation, aimed at educating associates of her own generation in the evils of big government.

In HOW DO YOU Taxes Thee?, libertarian commentator and rising media star Kristin Tate takes us on the tour from the ways the government bleeds us dried out in many daily transactions with various stages of life.

Everybody knows the government taxes our spend: federal, condition, and local taxes are withheld by about how exactly Do I Tax Thee?: A Field Guidebook to the Great American Rip-Off companies, as are cultural security obligations. But what about the numerous other ways the government drains money from our wallets? Perhaps you have studied your cellular phone bill? Customers in NY State pay an average of 24.36% in federal, state and local taxes on their wireless bills. They’re also billed for obscure services they didn’t require and don’t understand, such as a common service fund charge, an FCC compliance fee, a line service fee, and an emergency services fee. These aren’t taxes, strictly speaking. The government imposes these administrative and regulatory costs, and your wireless provider passes them along to you. But the impact is strictly the same.

What about your cable bill? Your power expenses? Your water bill? The cost of a gallon of gas, a cab trip, a hotel stay and a film ticket are inflated by hidden fees. Just how much of everything you pay in the pump, the container office, or the airport is actually an indirect tax?

In a series of short, directed, fact-laden, humorous chapters, Tate exposes the huge authorities shakedown that consumes up to half of your income-and also points out where these hidden fees and fees come from.
