Taxes never stop bleeding us dry—Sal Assante dives deep into the rigged U.S. taxation nightmare, breaking down W-2 employees getting hit before payday vs. 1099 contractors slammed with self-employment double-dips on Social Security and Medicare. "The government already takes its cut" at every layer—payroll, income, multiple hits on the same dollar—crushing middle-income patriots while entitlements and spending balloon unchecked. Many Americans don't even realize how over-taxed they are, with no real benefits to show for it. Sal pushes bold reform: a simple flat tax rate, letting you control your own withholdings—"I think Americans could figure it out." We're extremely over-taxed—time to simplify, slash the burden, and demand fairness before the system collapses under its own weight. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wethepatriots/Follow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:45 Understanding W-2 vs. 1099 Taxation03:55 The Complexity of Multiple Tax Types08:01 The Burden of Over-Taxation10:26 Proposed Solutions for Tax Reform
