The only dolt would be the one paying over 50% in taxes. How much do you think we pay? Allow me to name a few:
Social Security: 13%
PA Sales Tax: 6%
State Income Tax: 4%
Local tax: 1%
Fed'l tax: 25%
That's 49%, not counting hidden taxes. Case closed.
Just proves that YOU pay for what you DON’T know. The only case you rest on is the need for a better education of how to legally avoid paying that much tax.
I honestly suggest you get to a good tax lawyer for some over-due advise.
Being you must be in the big time, I am sure you can unlock the home-vault and buy some desperately needed advice on your finances.
Knowledge is power.
