I would guess its above 50% for me.

Some where around 20% federal income tax, add SS medicare, state tax, near 25K in property taxes. 8% sales tax, fuel taxes, Federal fees and income taxes that are part of the goods we buy. State income taxes. It would be lucky if the % was below 50% Do keep in mind that a chunk of state money goes to fund federal/state joint programs.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
