I paid $37k in taxes and that isn’t counting my taxes paid on my 1099 which was probably another $12k. Chicago is on bullshyt for sure.

My biweekly paycheck is just shy of $6k. I take home $3500. Granted I got 401k and other deductions, but tax alone is about $1800 everytime I get paid.
I'm in this weird tax range and income range, that i don't have the tax breaks poor and rich folks get. I just get taken to the cleaners...

Not at all. I work in Germany and as long as I don’t cross the $117k limit (I think that’s what it is) I don’t have to pay taxes and since I’m not a German citizen I don’t pay their taxes either.

No. That's the benefit of being a US federal contractor overseas or working for a private company.

Seriously, you got to get way up there IMO to start feeling like taxes are hurting you.
And remember the higher tax rates only affect income at that level.

I pay taxes on my house and cars but I'm tax exempt for the kind of work I do. I could make a milly (I dont) and still not be taxed from income. I do not however have any 401k, FSA or anyone of those. I live in the DMV. My take home amount would be closer to someone making around 300k.
