The goal of this thread is to create discussion with the looming tax deadline and highlight just how ugly our true tax burdens are. For this poll, please take your total tax bill - Federal Income, State Income, FICA (employer and employee), Property Tax, and any other direct taxes that you personally pay on a fairly on going basis - and divide by your take (home pay + non taxed 401k contributions + health care benefits + employer fica portion + misc benefits). For healthcare, I think the baseline should be 15k for the total value of a family healthcare plan. If you are single, use 6k for the value of your health plan.
My numbers are personally about 36%, before sales tax and misc state fees. What is very scary to me, is that this does not include inflation or regulatory costs which perpetually raise the cost of living and decrease one's purchasing power.
