I paid around 30% fed income tax along with state and city taxes--vehicle tax--boat tax-property tax-sales tax-soc secur tax-city school tax--capital gain tax-various business taxes and probably a handful of other taxes i cant think of at the moment

do you think i hit the 40% mark

Very interesting and informative article. The quoted 40% rate may be a little high but if anyone took the time to read the article then you could see just how much someones income could be taxed.


I tried pointing out why nearly half of all Americans don't pay any federal income taxes on here before but it's just to good of a talking point for the right to let it go.

Here's a quick read on it.
