With this new audiobook, Libertarian journalist Kristin Tate offers a check out the wild world of frivolous taxation, targeted at educating associates of her own generation in the evils of big government.

In How Do I Tax Thee?, libertarian commentator and rising media superstar Kristin Tate will take us on the tour of the ways the government bleeds us dried out in innumerable daily transactions and at various phases of life.

Everybody knows the government fees our pay: federal, condition, and local taxes are withheld by about How SHOULD I Tax Thee?: A Field Information to the Great American Rip-Off employers, as are public security obligations. But how about the many other ways the federal government drains cash from our wallets? Have you studied your cell phone bill? Customers in NY State pay an average of 24.36% in federal, state and neighborhood taxes on the wireless bills. They’re also charged for obscure services they didn’t require and don’t understand, such as a general service fund fee, an FCC compliance fee, a range service fee, and a crisis services charge. These aren’t taxes, strictly speaking. The federal government imposes these administrative and regulatory costs, as well as your cellular provider goes by them along for you. But the impact is exactly the same.

How about your cable bill? Your power expenses? Your water bill? The cost of a gallon of gas, a cab trip, a resort stay and a movie ticket are all inflated by concealed fees. Just how much of what you pay at the pump, the box office, or the airport terminal is really an indirect tax?

In some short, directed, fact-laden, funny chapters, Tate exposes the huge federal government shakedown that consumes up to fifty percent of your income-and also clarifies where these hidden fees and fees come from.
