Obviously that doesn't include local or state income taxes, which if you live in NY or CA would add close to another $100,000 in taxes.

Its funny how when the word "if" is used, it makes what you say not a lie.

also, someone making $36,000 doesn't pay $10,000 in income taxes to the fed. Someone making $36,000 pays a maximum of $5,665 in federal income taxes. Most of the time less.
