You can't be serious. Take a look at your paycheck. Medicare, SS, Fed, and State add up to 13% for me and I'm probably in the top 25% for household income. Add in my property taxes and I'm at 14%. Local sales tax about 8% for non-food and something like 1-2% for food. After all of that I'm nowhere near 20%.
