taxes are the money which people pay to support their government. there are generally three levels of government in the united states: federal, state and city. therefore there is a tax for each of these levels.   federal taxes are due on april 15th. people who earn more than four to five thousand dollars per year must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government. the second tax is for the state government: new york, florida, california, etc. the state tax laws are diverse and confusing because some states use income tax and others use sales tax. a few even use both. The third tax is for the city: seattle, boston, chicago, etc. this tax comes in two forms: property tax and excise tax.   most americans feel that they pay high taxes. they often complain about the internal revenue service and department of revenue.
