RE:"Grand Total Tax: 20.2% + 26% = 46.2% per employee, paid by employer and employee.

Enjoy,
Amy J"

Hard to enjoy what little is left...but you forgot property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, federal excise taxes, gas taxes, intangable personal property taxes, stamp taxes etc...

Pretty easy to get over 50% and the governments still can't get enough...

It's hardly all stealth but you got to wonder why people would vote for more of the same...

People have to be pretty stupid to think only someone richer than they are paying the taxes...

Jim

PS...you added medicare twice but who's worried about another 1.45%.

Amy J, RE:State income taxes
How are these things done? Are they graduated, or a flat percentage on everything above a certain amount? if graduated, what is the range?

I dunno, sales and income tax seems to be excessive...
