I don't think the average person should be giving well more than 50% of their paycheck to Uncle Sam. Which a typical worker in Manhattan easily can be. (rental property tax + federal income + state income + city income + sales tax easily tops 50% for someone making median NYC income). It's not actually criminal, obviously. But it should be. Local politicians stealing from their constituents.
