I was just looking at my pay stub, and thinking how ridiculous it is that I have paid $10,126.62 in federal taxes this year, in 7 months. another 5 grand or so for the other bull crap federal garbage programs, i'll save that bitch session for another thread. Luckily i dont pay state taxes in FL.



and then I see this...









your money is buying this. and you dont even get to do neutral drops at 7,000 RPM to watch the tranny fall out!

Don't even get me started! I currently pay more in Federal Taxes than I earned in a full year when I took my first job out of college. And that was no job flippin' burgers....It was a high paying job writing software for a defense contractor.

I should get to go to the front of the line at the DMV, be able to drive a few miles above the speed limit - heck something for all those tax dollars!

Didn't I read somewhere that "they" are supposed to pour something into the engines that will ruin them if run? Sodium Silicate or something like that, not sure Anyway, anyone know what it is and what it does to an engine?
