The top 10% (over $125K/yr) pay 70% of all income tax in the US. In 1990, it was 55%.[1]

But they at most work with IRS numbers regarding federal income tax.

Lets be real here: any money that's leaving my pocket that goes towards "compliance", "fees", "fines", "tickets", or what have you is Tax.

Now, I don't have a problem with tax itself (as a concept). I get that services need to be paid for, and that's us.

But what I want to know, is out of my paycheck, how much really is taxed? No one can answer that.
