[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

"The state is an organized crime racket. It appropriates wealth by coercion and regularly uses force in violation of the nonaggression principle. The state is a parasite that perpetuates itself at all costs and extends itself by any means possible. Regardless of its putative leaders, the state grows and increases its power at the expense of its hosts and others who fall victim to its predations."

The larger the State, the smaller the individual citizen. The more powerful the State, the weaker the citizen. The more costly the State, the more impoverished the citizen.

And so....

Less than $50k -- 60.96% of population.
Circa $50k-$100k -- 24.61% of population.
More than $100k -- 14.43% of population.
