Umm check out toomuchtodo's post above and think to yourself.... yeah I've worked hard and smart and now I'm making 120K on paper, yet in my pocket after all the taxes I only get 60K? WHAT!?!
But if you make 50K your gonna see 38K in your pocket. 12K in taxes is a fair amount as I'm all for taxes for roads and services I use.
Though taking half of what you make each year in the various taxes is insane and again for me makes me think why work harder and smarter. The majority of my rewards will be taken from me!
- wpietri 13y agoI'm skeptical of your numbers. See the graph here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2012/09/19/heres-why-the-47-percent-argument-is-an-abuse-of-tax-data/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2012/09/19/h... Regardless, you seem to be upset that we have a progressive tax system, where the rich proportionally pay more. That seems fine to me. Paying for "what you use" is a terrible standard. The whole thing has to get paid for.
