I figured out my federal income tax, state income tax, local property tax, Social Security and Medicare tax is 36% of my income. Add in hidden taxes like sales tax, gas tax, etc, and it's another few percent. So yes, my taxes are too high. To make it even worse, a number of newspaper articles are claiming that 47% of the people here pay no income tax, which is hardly fair.
