An undisclosed sales tax charged to everyone else on most (if not all) things sold at retail stores nationwide due to the selfish actions of a select few assholes. Such actions that these assholes are guilty of include shoplifting, holding up the line in the store while trying to bargain down the price of a certain item in order to avoid paying high price for such item, and lastly, just being a plain dick to the cashier or to other retail workers all while asking to speak to the manager.

The price of cheating on a spouse, usually encompassing costs like alimony, child support, utilities, housing, cell phones, food, and vehicles.
The tax is often paid to both the spouse & the piece of ass on the side, and is necessary to avoid a public scene of marital discontent involving wrecked cars, burned wardrobes, trashed houses, midnight shouting matches in the front yard, etc.

When people die as a result of not being able to acquire the resources they need to survive, because they lost a lot of money they needed when they paid off their taxes, which causes some people to go homeless and potentially die starvation, dehydration, and or severe illnesses that greatly impact their lives in a negative way.
People who get taxed to death tend to die in a very slow, painful manner. It is sad to see this issue is still very prevalent today.
