Is it fair? I pay 36% federal taxes, taxes to MD, to Montgomery County, sales taxes and interest on my student loans could be counted as taxes since they are held by the Dept. of Ed.

I'm a federal employee so I make less then my private sector attorney counterparts. The local jurisdictions don't zone for enough affordable housing for federal workers so I'm forced to live in the burbs and ride Metro.

Sure the feds are paying for 80-90% of my Metro trips each month but should more of my income go the least functional public agency keeping me in lower middle class wage slavery?

Not really. The three jurisdictions and the federal government, my employer/slavemaster should shoulder more of that burden. I'm not the one that underfunded the system for the last twenty years.
