I think the number is a LOT closer than you realize.  The average effective tax rate for someone making 50k is closer to 12% (when you include FICA and federal).  The average for all taxpayers (including the top 1%) just under 20%, so it's a difference of only 8%.

But really you should also count the employer match on FICA, which is another 6.2%.  Then you have state and local taxes.  Sales tax.  Possibly property taxes.  Now we're up closer to 30%, or 15k, which would be in the ballpark of what someone making 50k spends on food, housing and clothing.

Of course, when liberals make a habit of misleading people on how much taxes they actually pay, then it's easy to mislead people that such a statistic is misleading....so much so they go and spread the misinformation themselves like good disciples

Again, it looked wonky to me and FOX has a history of such things.

So you might be right that it is closer...but not accurate.









One of those is fake.  The others are real FOX graphics.
