| According to the Tax Foundation, taxes now consume more than 38% of the average family's budget. That is more than is spent on food, clothing, housing and transportation combined. Compare this to the plight of medieval serfs. They only had to give the lord of the manor one-third of their output-and they were considered slaves. So what does that make us?
