Today I was in the drive-thru at McDonald's and was contemplating why we have to pay so much to the government. I had to pay $65 for my license registration, and I still have to pay for property taxes today. I am a poor guy who just finished college and have no real job to speak of. So today I thought, I should track all the money I give to the government, because I'm sure it is a lot more than anyone would expect. In this blog, I am going to track everything that goes to the government out of my pocket for one year (June 5, 2008 to June 5, 2009). So I look forward to everyone that will join me on this endeavour. Please feel free to comment on anything. Thank you.
