The IRS Randomly Decided to Push Me Into Bankruptcy

I've been following Mr. Seaman for quite some time and can attest to the fact that he is a very vocal opponent of the NDAA and other draconian government measures. Interesting that a kid straight out of college should owe so much in taxes...

What Eduardo Saverin Owes America. (Hint: Nearly Everything)
Link to article
This is insulting on so many levels.
#1 - It demonstrates the complete wanton disregard the wealthy have for the rest of us Americans. We, the millions of people who use Facebook on a regular basis, are the source of Saverin's wealth. And yet, as soon as he's about to cash in on the wealth created by us for him (which credit be due - Facebook was a very good idea) he skips town. It's not illegal because of loopholes, but it is certainly unethical.
#2 - This proves that the problem is not the lack of taxes on the rich. The problem is the rich avoid taxes they should be paying. How about we close all the loopholes before we start talking about raising taxes? Let's see how much revenue we generate that way.
#3 - Saverin moved here from Brazil, received a great education in general security, and then takes his money elsewhere. That's the thanks we get from an immigrant to this country? Once again, I'm not stereotyping, but merely stating that it is an unethical practice.
The Facebook creators, as evidenced by Zuckerberg referring to Facebook users as "dumb fucks," have no respect for those of us who have given them everything they could imagine. Am I annoyed by this story? Yes. Surprised? No.

24 Outrageous Facts About Taxes in the United States That Will Blow Your Mind
Link to article
"When you account for all forms of taxation on the federal, state and local levels there are many Americans that pay out more than half of their incomes in taxes.
We are being taxed into oblivion, and yet most Americans do not even realize that it is happening.
It is kind of like being killed by thousands of tiny cuts."
It's widely known that serfs worked 50% of the time for the Church and his lord. Now, some of us give up half our money to the federal government (a modern day lord).

(A 95% drop)
1952 Payroll taxes (Social security) as a % of total federal revenue = 9.7%
2010 Payroll taxes (Social security) as a % of total federal revenue = 40.0%
