lol, are you trying to suggest that it’s actually 54%?

I’d like to see your math and how you came up with people having trouble keeping half of their income.

Here’s one recent published example

“If you add up all the federal and you look at the disability and the unemployment and the Social Security and the state, my tax rate is at 62 to 63 percent”

- California taxes drive him to far over half.
