Why we're worse off than the serfs were

When I was in high school I was appalled to find out that during the Middle Ages serfs had to work 3 months of each year for their feudal masters.

Today in America the average American works until April 24th to pay their taxes.

That's January, February, March, and essentially all of April; i.e. it's nearly 4 months.

So today we work 33% more for our government masters than serfs did.

Another reason that "progressive" is an oxymoron.
