>Do you feel like your life has been improving?
Yes because I've been taking steps to improve my life. If you're actually asking "has the standard of living for the average American gone up in recent years?" then the answer is no.
>My taxes went up last year
They do that sometimes. Sometimes they go down too. I don't live in New York City by the way. You can pay less in taxes if you do stuff like invest in a traditional IRA and a 401k.
