re: Care to share where your money goes?

Perhaps, but it might be less than you think.

Effective Tax Examples

Two examples in there:
1. Single, $100,000 income = effective tax of 18%.
2. Married, 2 kids, dual income $100,000 = effective tax of 8%.

State and local taxes might add a couple of percentage points to that.

But in each case the taxpayer would likely complain that they were in the 28% tax bracket, believing that is how much they pay in taxes. Most Americans pay far less in taxes than they perceive.
