Joke’s on them...no job.
The State income tax here in California is 9.3% right now that chart shows it at 6%- So I guess it will even be higher
than 50% in 2013
Any job or contract priced to reality, has room for only two parties. Not the government-or anybody else.
Remember that the snake offered to “mediate” Eve’s relationship to her God.
This doesn’t include use taxes, registration fees ,sales taxes,and in Maryland where I live they charge me every time I flush my own friggin toilet, that I paid for and built the septic system for.
Lot of taxes left out of this chart.
Any tax on a middle income earner’s employer, landlord, grocer, etc. is a tax he pays.
Thank God a tax break.
They forgot property taxes, local and state sales taxes, and excise taxes. In Illinois when you add it all up it’s well over 50%.

Don’t forget the expiring tax cuts and “fiscal cliff” in a very few months. Then, eventually, bond collapse, repudiation (”haircuts” for bond investors), then cuts and/or cutoffs in pensions, etc.
“It is outrageous that any dollar earned by a middle-class taxpayer would go as much to taxes as to supporting the taxpayer’s family”
Great point. Which is why I can’t understand why the politicians seem to only care about reducing the taxes on the richest Americans. They are already paying at a lower level than middle-class Americans:
“The 400 highest-earning taxpayers in the U.S. reported a record $105 billion in total adjusted gross income in 2006, but they paid just $18 billion in tax, new Internal Revenue Service figures show. That works out to an average federal income tax bite of 17%—the lowest rate paid by the richest 400 during the 15-year period covered by the IRS statistics. The average federal tax bite on the top 400 was 30% in 1995 and 23% in 2002.”
